In Monitoring Sex Abuse of Children, Apple Is Caught Between Safety and Privacy

 

SAN FRANCISCO — In 2021, Apple was embroiled in controversy over a plan to scan iPhones for child sexual abuse materials. Privacy experts warned that governments could abuse the system, and the backlash was so severe that Apple eventually abandoned the plan.

 

Two years later, Apple is facing criticism from child safety crusaders and activist investors who are calling on the company to do more to protect children from online abuse.

 

A child advocacy group, Heat Initiative, has raised $2 million for a new national advertising campaign calling on Apple to detect, report and remove child sexual abuse materials from iCloud, its cloud storage platform.

 

Next week, the group will release digital advertisements on websites popular with policymakers in Washington, such as Politico. It will also put up posters across San Francisco and New York that say: “Child sexual abuse material is stored on iCloud. Apple allows it.”

 

The criticism speaks to a predicament that has dogged Apple for years. The company has made protecting privacy a central part of its iPhone pitch to consumers. But that promise of security has helped make its services and devices, 2 billion of which are in use, useful tools for sharing child sexual abuse imagery.

 

The company is caught between child safety groups, which want it to do more to stop the spread of such materials, and privacy experts, who want it to maintain the promise of secure devices.

 

A group of two dozen investors with nearly $1 trillion in assets under management have also called on Apple to publicly report the number of abusive images that it catches across its devices and services.

 

Two investors — Degroof Petercam, a Belgian asset manager, and Christian Brothers Investment Services, a Catholic investment firm — will submit a shareholder proposal this month that would require Apple to provide a detailed report on how effective its safety tools are at protecting children.

 

“Apple seems stuck between privacy and action,” said Matthew Welch, an investment specialist at Degroof Petercam. “We thought a proposal would wake up management and get them to take this more seriously.”

 

Apple has been quick to respond to child safety advocates. In early August, its privacy executives met with the group of investors, Welch said. Then, on Thursday, the company responded to an email from the Heat Initiative with a letter that defended its decision not to scan iCloud. It shared the correspondence with Wired, a technology publication.

 

In Apple’s letter, Erik Neuenschwander, director for user privacy and child safety, said the company had concluded that “it was not practically possible” to scan iCloud photos without “imperiling the security and privacy of our users.”

 

“Scanning for one type of content, for instance, opens the door for bulk surveillance and could create a desire to search other encrypted messaging systems,” Neuenschwander said.

 

Apple, he added, has created a new default feature for all child accounts that intervenes with a warning if they receive or try to send nude images. It’s designed to prevent the creation of new child sexual abuse material and limit the risk of predators coercing and blackmailing children for money or nude images. It has made those tools available to app developers as well.

 

In 2021, Apple said it would use technology called image hashes to spot abusive material on iPhones and in iCloud.

 

But the company failed to communicate that plan broadly with privacy experts, intensifying their skepticism and fueling concern that governments could abuse the technology, said Alex Stamos, director of the Stanford Internet Observatory at the Cyber Policy Center, who opposed the idea.

 

Last year, the company discreetly abandoned its plan to scan iCloud, catching child safety groups by surprise.

 

Apple has won praise from both privacy and child safety groups for its efforts to blunt the creation of new nude images on iMessage and other services. But Stamos, who applauded the company’s decision not to scan iPhones, said it could do more to stop people from sharing problematic images in the cloud.

 

“You can have privacy if you store something for yourself, but if you share something with someone else, you don’t get the same privacy,” Stamos said.

 

Governments around the world are putting pressure on Apple to take action. Last year, eSafety Commissioner in Australia issued a report criticizing Apple and Microsoft for failing to do more to proactively police their services for abusive material.

Now it's a Paramount Concern? Thought TRUTH was of No Concern to 6 Pence.

If HRC and BC were part of the "Electors" for 2020, and it was WIDELY known, as well as other DS snakes, the "Game" WH or BH, traitors are traitors regardless of the script.

J6 was a conjob. Entire thing, Kayfab.

If 17 isn't your clue, then you need to shut off your computer, and go play outside.

All the social media whores, who continually stoke fearporn with these stupid stories, are doing it for their own egos, not for truth.

Central American Migrant, In the Country for Less Than a Year, Arrested In Death of an 11-Year-Old. Reportedly Finds Two Black Men to Blame.

 

An 18-year-old Guatemalan migrant could face capital punishment if found guilty of the death of his 11-year-old next-door neighbor. Authorities believe the Pasadena, Texas, preteen was sexually assaulted and strangled by the neighbor, whom police say tried to deflect blame from himself by using a familiar racial trope: It was two Black guys.

 

Police say to hide the child’s body, the youth, whose name is Juan Carlos Garcia-Rodriguez and entered the country illegally in January, stuffed it in a hamper and hid it underneath her father’s bed.

 

Texas law enforcement arrested and charged Garcia-Rodriguez with the Aug. 12 death of Maria Gonzalez. He was hit with one count of capital murder of a person older than 10 and younger than 15. In Texas, this crime is punishable by life imprisonment or the death penalty.

 

Now booked as an adult, Garcia-Rodriguez is being held in custody at the Harris County jail.

 

He appeared in court for the first time on Aug. 24, and bond was denied.

 

The young victim was killed in her home at the Main Village apartments. An investigation determined that the refugee had just turned 18 and moved into the complex weeks before taking her life, Law & Crime reported.

 

After the girl was found dead Garcia-Rodriguez fled to Louisiana, where he was later captured.

 

After his arrest, Garcia-Rodriguez initially denied harming Gonzalez.

 

FOX 26 reports he told police that he was with friends during the time Maria would have been killed. However, that alibi did not check out. Later he told authorities that two Black men forced him to commit the attack — adding they had guns and threatened to kill him if he didn’t.

 

Court documents show that on the day of the murder, Gonzalez’s father saw the “long-haired neighbor” talking on the phone in a stairwell of the complex before he left for work.

 

Gonzalezes lived in unit 204 and Garcia-Rodriguez lived in unit 203. The apartments were six feet apart from each other and shared a stairwell.

 

Maria messaged her father on the WhatsApp messaging app around 10:02 a.m. and said someone was knocking on the door.

 

The dad sent someone to the house to check on the child but did not receive a report of concern. However, when he arrived home around 2:30 p.m., he discovered his daughter had been mushed in a black trash bag and dumped in a white laundry basket in his bedroom.

 

Police said her cause of death was determined to be “blunt force head and neck trauma and asphyxia due to strangulation.” Court documents also said Maria “had been sexually assaulted” during the attack.

 

The dad also discovered on the floor a strange silver key — one eventually linked to Garcia-Rodriguez — and shared it as evidence to authorities. He said the key did not belong to anyone in their home.

 

When officers asked around the complex, Garcia-Rodriguez’s roommates said the suspect was supposed to be moving out but had refused to return the key to those living in the apartment. As a result, the roommates changed the locks on him.

 

One roommate said, Garcia-Rodriguez “stated he had gotten a new job and was moving out and refused to return his apartment key.”

 

The key found at the Gonzalez residence matched the old lock for the 203 unit. The key, even before DNA evidence was gathered, helped authorities pin down the Guatemalan as a suspect.

 

Gonzalez is devastated by the loss of his daughter. He said in a statement he hopes the suspect is “burdened with the full weight of the law for what he has done to my daughter.”
