yeah fuck that
Welp, that’s the most Orwellian thing I’ve read all week…
Freezing? It’s so you can create a good screenshot, right?
My mum had the same come up when my GF was facetiming her with my young daughter in the bath.
Like come on…
What the fuck makes Apple think they have the right to not only spy on my private communications, but to also censor conversations between me and my wife?
Apple says the detection is done on-device, but it’s closed source and I can’t think of a way to test it so I wouldn’t trust it
Have you tried SeeFood app? It can tell you if the food is hotdog or not hotdog.
The calls are encrypted with AES-256 so you’d have to have the phone decrypting the stream and then connecting to an Apple server for nudity verification without on-device detection. It’s entirely possible to verify/intercept what’s being communicated from a device even if it is closed source.
Who is to say it isnt on device but sending all the data on again? It being closed source is the issue. It existing is the issue.
Yep. It could even be sending metadata back
“Child Nudity detection at 2026-10-10T10:10:10” etcI mean that is the perfect selling point for monitoring but there are pictures of me naked as a child on my mother’s fridge, it shoupdn’t auto flag as a criminal activity. Not arguing against you just adding a note.
Feature detection in images is extremely light weight so it seems that it would be fairly trivial to detect someones wang before the stream is encrypted in the first place. There is likely already a ton of processing done on raw camera data before it’s and sent off-device anyway.
Looks like it’s an option you have to turn on or can turn off.
Because photos and videos are analyzed on your device, Apple doesn’t receive an indication that sensitive content was detected and doesn’t get access to the photos or videos.
That doesn’t mean that - It could be on device AND send an indication…
Or, Apple is flat out lying and does get a copy of everything.
I’m like 99% certain there’s an option to turn it off.
That shit should always be opt in, not opt out.
This is actually do to government policies being put in place in the U.K., Australia and such. In those countries if a user has a child account (under 13 years old) certain safety features are turned on by default now in those countries, and the parent can choose to turn them off. If your account is over 18 years old, has a credit card attached to it, or I think there is a couple other ways it will automatically assume you are over 18 and you don’t have to prove it (otherwise you would have to scan your ID to get your Apple account to have you listed as an adult). In the U.S. you don’t have to prove it, and it is opt in by the users.
So it’s a catch 22, I think it should be opt in every where, but no one is winning a political campaign on saying 12 year olds should be able to send or receive nudes without their parents knowinh about it.
This is an article from july…?
July 2025, when iOS 26 was still only available in preview. It wasn’t released until September 2025.
IOS 27 will likely not get any better.
It’s fine.
This article is old as shit.
okay slowpoke
