We have always said that smartphones have become the indispensable devices of our lives. Much of our life is inside these little devices that we keep in our pockets. But be careful, they also hide a dark side ... And it is that nowadays people of All ages have access to this technology, and obviously there are people who take advantage of it to carry out actions of doubtful legality. This summer we were talking about plans for Apple to analyze photos and discover child abuse content. Some criticized plans that seem they are going to postpone to improve them. Keep reading that we tell you the details.
You already know that all this has to be taken with tweezers, in the end Apple has never wanted to meddle with what's on devices and we have seen it, for example, in investigations of attacks. Why child abuse content yes? Well obviously because you have to fight it, and I think what Apple has to improve is the communication of this. After the first news, many thought that Apple would analyze all their photographs, and it is not like that, They will do it based on algorithms and obviously in the countries where this is allowed ...
Last month we announced feature plans intended to help protect children from predators They use communication tools to recruit and exploit them, and to limit the spread of child sexual abuse material. Based on feedback from clients, advocacy groups, researchers, and others, we have decided to take additional time in the coming months to gather information and make improvements before releasing these critically important child safety features.
I think Apple has gotten into a garden unintentionally, the idea is good, and the intentions are. Now it is Apple's job to improve how they communicate this scan of photographs, and make the purpose of these changes clear. And to you, What do you think Apple can discover child abuse content? Do you agree that companies should collaborate to discover these practices?
