Apple is still in its fight for backdoor security. Their current plan is delaying the ability add to scan all of the users photos for CSAM, or child abuse material. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has stated that their delay for these backdoors is no longer viable and Apple must drop. The FVEY is a group of intelligence agencies within the UKUSA Agreement treaty, has had major interest in this evolving form of privacy. They consider this to help with the war on terror.
Key Takeaways:
- The Electronic Frontier Foundation rejected Apple’s plan to delay its new surveillance plan, insisting instead that it drop it entirely.
- Apple’s claim to scan only for Child Sexual Abuse Material is simply a Trojan horse to introduce greater surveillance.
- Apple has shown disloyalty to its customers who value privacy and security.
“Documents leaked by Snowden in 2013 revealed that the FVEY has been spying on one another’s citizens and sharing the collected information with each other in order to circumvent restrictive domestic regulations on surveillance of citizens.”
