I wonder how Apple will fish out “child porn” from tons of innocuous pictures of babies, often mostly in the nude (children like to wear no clothes). Is their algo clever enough to understand context?
I somehow doubt it.

In practice ?
(Edit: This is for the iCloud scanning. The (i)Message warning around sexting is a whole other issue)
That shouldn't make anyone sleep soundly at night. The person at the other end has no incentive to not turn your life upside down.
"Rest assured our system is safe, a random guy working in a digital sweatshop at the end of the world will get to see your naked baby pictures just to make sure you're not a criminal"
One would hope that such checks should be minimal and therefore performed by suitably qualified (and equally audited) personnel. As you allude, it is more likely that such work is outsourced in the same way that the manufacturing of the phone is.

What will the job interview sound like for this job? “Do you have any experience in recognising child porn?”, “yes, many years, and great enthusiasm for the job”.
I’m looking for my old Huawei phone now.
So Apple does have access to everything you store on your phone? Either they're lying about being concerned about privacy or you don't have your facts straight.
But that’s a stupid way around it, surely. Child porn is surely, and tragically, in continuous production. And really, it’s the production that is the biggest issue, this is the continued abuse of children. And that’s the one bit the algo won’t match against?
