While catching criminals is essential, the automated scanning of private cloud storage raises major red flags about the end of digital privacy. It’s a slippery slope when a private corporation acts as a primary surveillance arm for the government without a specific warrant. We need to define where „public safety“ ends and „unwarranted mass surveillance“ begins.

In case people don’t know. This is nothing new.
**Recent CSAM Reporting Figures (2024-2025)**
* **Meta Platforms (Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp):** Consistently reports the highest volume, with approximately 30.6 million reports in 2023 and continuing to lead, with one 2026 report indicating they account for 37% of online harm cases.
* **Google:** Reports millions of items annually. In 2023, Google made over 1.47 million reports to NCMEC. In the first half of 2025 (2025H1), Google detected over 3 million instances of CSAM via automated methods.
* **Microsoft:** Reported 96,776 cases in 2020. For July-December 2024, Microsoft submitted 49,617 reports to NCMEC and actioned over 226,000 pieces of content.
* **Apple:** Has been criticized for significantly lower reporting numbers compared to peers. Reports indicate Apple made 267 reports of CSAM to NCMEC in 2023

There is *no* privacy. Either accept it, or don’t use cloud

I think it’s important to understand that there are no real-world analogies that can apply to digital counterparts (like privacy).
Technology can and will do things often incomprehensible or impossible in the real world.
This will always make regulation tricky and what is “right” or “wrong” very grey.
It would be nice to go back to a world where you “own” your computer, it would be nice to live in a world where we don’t have to think of abhorrent perverts.
Idk what the answer is but it seems it’s forcing us as a species to think more critically.
This is honestly really good. If you have nothing to hide, then you don’t need to be concerned. Through this, they found what could be considered as a serial druggist and rapist.
