Apple defends its new child protection features that would check images uploaded to its cloud storage and on its messaging platform, rejecting concerns over threats to privacy
Apple software chief Craig Federighi said that the new tools do not make Apple's systems and devices less secure or confidential, adding"the technology is secure, and is expressly designed to preserve user privacy."
"We can see that it's been widely misunderstood," the US tech giant's software chief Craig Federighi said of the update rollout in an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on Friday.Last week, Apple unveiled two features to debut on iPads and iPhones in the United States. In a briefing on Friday, Apple explained it would rely on trusted groups in multiple countries to determine what images to look out for to make sure searches weren't being manipulated for other purposes.
Others voiced concern the move could be a first step toward weakening encryption and opening "backdoors" that could be exploited by hackers or governments.
