> "and what is suspiciously lacking in Apple's response: what are they going to do when they are compelled to extend the CSAM scanner by law in the US, India, China and/or EU?"

from https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/08/09/apple-csam-faq - "we will not accede to any government’s request to expand it."

From https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/craig-federighi-sa... - "“We ship the same software in China with the same database we ship in America, as we ship in Europe. If someone were to come to Apple [with a request to scan for data beyond CSAM], Apple would say no. But let’s say you aren’t confident. You don’t want to just rely on Apple saying no. You want to be sure that Apple couldn’t get away with it if we said yes,” he told the Journal. “There are multiple levels of auditability, and so we’re making sure that you don’t have to trust any one entity, or even any one country, as far as what images are part of this process.”" - Craig Federighi
