Podcast: Apple’s Decision to Scan iPhones

“Canada's Top Data Privacy Expert Reveals The One Area Where She Is Completely Torn.”

Sharon Bauer and Jamal Ahmed have a deep discussion on the Privacy Pro Podcast about Apple's decision to scan iPhone photos for child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) and the implications that may have on citizens' privacy. They have a philosophical discussion about the paradox of wanting to protect privacy and the need to eliminate CSAM. They discuss what tech companies are doing (or not doing) to combat CSAM and what role they are playing in the increased number of CSAMs found on their platforms. They also discuss the slippery slope this sort of technology can have on our society.
