MacVoices #21153: MacVoices Live! - Apple, Privacy, and CSAM (Part 1)

The latest MacVoices Live! panel took on the complex, sensitive topic of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) and Apple’s latest announcements of their efforts to combat it. David Ginsburg, Brittany Smith, Andrew Orr, Jim Rea, Guy Serle, and Mark Fuccio start off looking at the privacy exceptions we have as Apple users, and then start into exactly how the proposed system would function, what it would and wouldn’t flag, and at what age levels what restrictions apply.
