A Dad Took Photos of His Naked Toddler for the Doctor. Google Flagged Him as a Criminal
DNYUZ ^ | 8.21.22 | Aaron Wojack

After setting up a Gmail account in the mid-aughts, Mark, who is in his 40s, came to rely heavily on Google. He synced appointments with his wife on Google Calendar. His Android smartphone camera backed up his photos and videos to the Google cloud. He even had a phone plan with Google Fi.

Two days after taking the photos of his son, Mark’s phone made a blooping notification noise: His account had been disabled because of “harmful content” that was “a severe violation of Google’s policies and might be illegal.” A “learn more” link led to a list of possible reasons, including “child sexual abuse & exploitation.”

Hey you’re deft at virtue signaling

Is strange how strong the impulse is for everyone

Heads up

It’s not a good thing

The impulse that is

If it’s a standards-compliant phone, you can just sign up for any pre-paid cell network that provides a SIM card. No lockin necessary.

So you are ok for police coming in your home without a warrant and checking for Kiddie porn? You know to save the children.

If you truly think Apple doesn’t see your content you are sadly mistaken. Besides once we are ok with them looking at cloud content, why not look at content on your phone? Most people would be ok with that, especially since they already do it in the cloud. I mean it’s to stop kiddie porn only so it’s ok. It’s a slippery slope.

I don’t like ios...it’s too basic. But I used to like Apples stance on privacy and protecting users from the feds wanting to get their encrypted data. But that is gone now that they are proactively searching for crimes.

If anyone is ok with this, then just invite the police to your house to go through everything just to make sure you haven’t committed any crimes. And then they are also allowed to come in whenever they want to make sure you’re not committing crimes.

>>I vaguely recall…

For many years, Copper Tone suntan lotion had the image on their containers of a young girl on the beach with a dog tugging on her bottom exposing her tan line…that is now child porn.

You have to bring more than speculation to the table. Tech papers, packets captures, first hand reports - anything.

So far I don’t see those.

What are you denying? The slippery slope argument? Or the fact apple is searching iCloud for illegal activity?

You don’t put naked pics f children on the internet for any reason.

You are correct. I have told my clients not to send me that sh8t even if it is evidence of abuse—bring it to the office.

The slippery slope argument is a real concern.

Apple searching iCloud for illegal activity is the issue. Apple is not doing CSAM searching per their reports. If you have any information to the contrary, let’s have it.

The same with them doing searches on an iOS device.

You need two components. A server(cloud) and a client or clients.(desktop client program, mobile client app).

The server can be on web hosting you purchase. You can use a provider they have listed which is the easier option but I didn’t see any in the USA. You can buy a device that has everything pre-installed and run it from home but configuring it so that you can access it from elsewhere would be tricky and if not done right, risky.

The server on web hosting you purchase is the best option.

What did you try to download?

From here, https://nextcloud.com/install/#install-clients Download for Desktop is what you’d want which is the desktop client. They have it for Windows 10, Mac 10 and Linux. If you can install that, you still need a server/cloud to connect to.

I handle all my own web hosting stuff, built a bunch of websites, including a couple for fellow FReepers, installed nextcloud myself and am a reseller of hosting and domain names.

“So you are ok for police coming in your home” If uploading nude photo’s of children (don’t care if it was by accident...sound like he’d better call Saul). YES. Just about anything else, NO.

Re: 71

Your information is old:

https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/03/apple-delaying-rollout-of-child-safety-features/

My guess is they will do eventually and people spooked by the slippery slope argument will stop uploading photos.

How do you know they haven’t secretly rolled it out? They can easily run it in the cloud without an iOS update. Or even sneak it in an iOS update, because last I knew it was closed source and not open source code.

I vaguely recall it was a thing back in the day (like 60 years ago or so?) proud parents would take a photo of the baby on the bearskin rug by the fireplace.

Probably started shortly after cameras came into common household usage.

After reading this thread I remembered that I have a couple of pictures of my grandson and a couple of our grandnephews frolicking naked in a big tub after the beach. I opened my phone and deleted them.

“Dumbass. Get a nextcloud installation and own your own cloud”

Label me a dumbass. I’ve programmed assembly and object-based languages and this is too complicated for the average phone user.

The difference is Apple has already said they will scan your data and report to police for crimes they think are worth reporting.

And Google won't? Unfortunately, affordable non-iOS/Google Android/Microsoft SmartPhones aren't that useable yet.

I thought Apple just scans your iCloud stuff, not your local phone storage. Of course, who knows?

More of the Sarah Brady argument.

“If it only saves one life it’s worth it”.

You admit it’s over-reach, and yet you support it. Amazing.
