Apple released materials on its initiative to scan users' iPhones for "Child Sexual Abuse Material." In the document, Apple said its system can search for illicit images without learning about the contents of users' photos stored on their system. The technology company also said it will refuse all demands from governments to access other information on users' devices. Meanwhile, an op-ed in the Financial Times looks at the privacy concerns surrounding Apple's plan. Editor's note: IAPP Associate Editor Ryan Chiavetta, CIPP/US, reports on the reactions to Apple's initiative.
