In the United States and in Europe as in India, the authorities applauded Apple’s latest announcements in the fight against child pornography. This is what worries many defenders of Internet freedoms and even the boss of WhatsApp instant messaging. For Will Cathcart, the device presented Thursday and last Friday by the Apple brand is “a very worrying … monitoring system”.
By the end of the year in the United States, and later in other countries, Apple intends to track iPhones and report sexual images involving children to authorities. Requested by police around the world to collaborate more with them when criminals and terrorists manage to hide behind the confidentiality guaranteed by its products, the company will take advantage of an upcoming software update to fulfill its new objectives.
