Apple is a multinational technology based company that concentrates on purchasers electronics , computer , software , web based services . Basically , it is an American Company . Apple’s company makes each and every product amazingly . They have produced so many gadgets for their users . And people are getting so many benefits by using their electronic devices . The features of their products are amazing . It can not be described in words . People must use it if they want to experience this amazing technology based gadget . There are some times when company has to face so many criticism after making any new system . The same thing happened with apple also. Because of their new system , they have faced criticism.

Apple’s revolutionary new anti child abuse technology brought about criticism as well as admiration by scanning straightly on iPhone . In this article , I will describe how apple defends Its new anti child abuse tech against privacy concerns. Lets get started .

In 45 years of history , apple has advertised few inspiring ads from the popular “ 1984 super bowl advertisement for MAC ” to the organization’s contentious “ 2019 ad campaign ” assuring that “ What occurs on your iPhone stays on your iPhone ” .

Apple has defended its new sensing system which scans their users phone for CSAM also known as Child sexual abuse material , after a reaction from users and privacy defender . Apple declared that the new technology can determine can determine CSAM material from iPhone . The contentious feature hits on the emotions for safety , privacy and technology based crime.

This new technology looks for matches of well known misuse materials before the photo is transferred into its iCloud account . Many observer alerts that this could be indirect access or “ Back door ” to notice or spy on people. Also , 5000 plus (approximately ) individuals and companies gave a sign on an open letter in disagreement with this technology . Therefore , Apple has assured that they will not “ extend ” the system by any reason.

To determine child sexual abuse material ( CSAM ), Apple declared and revealed their new technologies on iPhone  and abruptly what is on your iPhone not always just remain there . The new contentious characteristic affects the center of anxiety about privacy , supervision , technology related illegal acts.

Apple announces that their new characteristic or attribute maintains privacy as they are battling against child abuse . However , the major issue for the commentators is not about what the technology can control today , but they are more concerned about what might occur tomorrow .

Can apple’s new scanning technology empower even extensive close observation or surveillance throughout the world ? Will Government begin claiming that Apple scanning technology for all type of prohibited  item on the iPhone in their respective countries ?

Online privacy protectors last week alerts that anti democratic governments can utilize this new system  to strengthen their position . And this is really a very dangerous thing . It can bring danger for common people as well as for the country .

The company has been compelled to protect the new technology and they promised to not “extend it ” more . The organization said in common questions on its website about that “ this new technology is controlled to recognize child sexual abuse material which is saved in iCloud account ” .

Apple states that the new sensing tool , called as “ NeuralHash ” can detect the child abuse image saved on an iPhone without breaking or decoding the picture. Also , the organization states that , it has applied various research to decrease the possibility of mistakes before pictures are moved to the ( NCMEC ) National Center For Missing And Exploited Children and later to the Law Enforcement Departments . For better understanding , lets give an example : The new scanner must determine various pictures instead of one single picture. In United States , the characteristic will initiate this year .

When a user transfers a picture to their icloud storage account , the iPhone will generate a hash of the image to be transferred and it will analyze it against the data storage system. The company states that the system is created to lessen the the false positive item one in a million or gazillion .

The general assumption is not a new thing . Because , Google , Drop-Box  , Microsoft and other great cloud computing services already scan the information , facts that is saved on their servers for child or youngster abuse stuffs . So, we can say that this is not a new thing . The dissimilarity is that Apple’s scanning process will take place on the iPhone . And Apple contends that this is the pro privacy quality of the advanced technology .

In a press conference , Apple said that other cloud computing organizations scans almost each and every items of their user upload . At the time , Apple’s scanning tool is designed in a way so that it only deliver  hash to the organization , a secret code that determines  pictures that represents children misuse depended on a database record controlled by ( NCMEC ) instead of Apple .

Also , apple specified some important thing and that is the new feature implement only those person who transfer pictures to iCloud . At present , the iCloud version is not encrypted . So , the law enforcement department can easily examine into them .

Apple company said again that their new invented system does not operate for those users who have defused icloud photos and also they confirmed that the system does not work on personal iphone photo gallery  on your gadget.

Why apple does not do the same thing what other popular companies are doing ? Why apple’s sensing tool only scan those images that people transfer to iCloud rather than when the images are still on anyone’s phone ? What is the motive of apple doing this ? Apple always try to create their system in an innovative way so that their system is creative from any other company’s system .

Apple’s Next action : Well , we ordinary people do not know about what apple will do next or what apple is doing at present . What is apple’s planning , we actually do not know . But we can only give a hypothesis that this week’s statement will be the in the progress mode in the coming months . Because Apple’s management team always try to finish their work as fast as possible .

Over many years , apple always feel proud because of their privacy policy term . iPhone was a particular gadget which was encrypted in an automatic way . iMessage is a famous chatting apps which was designed with end to end encryption . Therefore , many apple users saves their essential information to iCloud and surprisingly iCloud department has never been encrypted.

On all technology based companies Government have tried every effort and always put extensive pressure , including apple company , to permit law enforcement department unique access on encrypted  data so that they can stop terrible illegal act . Child abuse is one of the most awful crime which is handled by terrorist .

Some law enforcement officers job have become more tough only because of apple’s involvement in encryption . But also , it has created difficulties some types of suspected  crimes , supervision  and misuse of capability  also .

iCloud has always been the big gap . Law enforcement officers have to work more and more to move into iPhone straightly . But on the other side , maximum data remains in an iCloud account which is not encrypted . Authorization will do the trick.

Some specialist expects that very quickly apple will declare that the iCloud will be encoded . If iCloud is encoded but the organization can detect youngster misuse item and hand over proof to the law enforcement department and can eject the wrongdoer . By doing so , it can  lessen the official stress as well as tension on apple’s  management team .

The famous computer scientist Mr David Forsyth states that “ Apple’s new technique maintains privacy better than other ”. Gentle users should try without losing privacy and visible derivations are only exposed if there are anything that matches with CSAM photos .

Everybody is dependent on iCloud not only for pictures sync but also people dependent on icloud storage because of its serious back up characteristics for their important pictures for lifetime .
