Devastating Apple Admission: iCloud Service Is ‘Greatest Platform for Distributing Child Porn’ – Now WV Is Moving to Protect Those Kids

West Virginia is going after Apple as a completely evil admission has come to light: Its services are widely used for child pornography.

The statement comes from internal communications between Apple employees about the iCloud service. Reuters reported Thursday that a former company anti-fraud chief called this software “the greatest platform for distributing child porn.”

That day, West Virginia Attorney General John B. McCuskey filed a lawsuit, alleging the company puts privacy above the safety of children. “These images are a permanent record of a child’s trauma, and that child is victimized every time the material is shared or viewed,” he said.

Apple made its own statement.

All of our industry-leading parental controls and features, like Communication Safety — which automatically intervenes on kids’ devices when nudity is detected on Messages, shared Photos, AirDrop and even live FaceTime calls — are designed with the safety, security, and privacy of our users at their core.”

Although iCloud reportedly does not use end-to-end encryption for all information shared, which would put it outside the reach of investigators and the company, the lawsuit focuses on this tool for what Reuters calls a “move toward” it.

And more importantly, it violates West Virginia law. Since Apple has so far refused to police themselves and do the morally right thing, I am filing this lawsuit to demand Apple follow the law, report these images, and stop re-victimizing children by allowing these images to be stored and shared.”
