Apple got the message

At least for now.

Over the weekend, I noticed an article reporting Apple had decided to delay their roll out of CSAM scanning.

The report dropped on Friday and it’s unclear if Apple will push forward at a later date but for the moment Apple has put it on hold.

I think it’s a good thing.

It’s also unprecedented.

Apple never backs away from something they’re planning to release. At this point they’re saying that they’ll invite opinions from privacy protection groups and the “feel” is they’re going to be inviting input from developers in the privacy arena.

This doesn’t mean that they’ won’t push forward at a later date, but it does mean that for now, our devices won’t be spying on us, (any more than they do already,) I’m calling it a win.

That being said, I’m going to be watching privacy settings very closely and being a lot more alert to any changes.

I don’t have anything to hide but at the same time I’m not willing to just leave my digital doors and windows open all the time either.

After all, who doesn’t from time to time get a naked photo of a friend? LOL!
