I think it’s actually a good way to look at the problem from a different, broader, perspective that isn’t the average HN user and privacy minded individual standpoint. Also, it interprets Apple’s decisions in the wider framework of their B2C business. Apple’s privacy engineers don’t have the luxury of being radical like their critics when it comes to taking a decision like this. Given this state of things, have they picked the lesser of two evils to solve the thorny problem of CSAM detection? I think it’s fair to say yes, they did, while still criticizing them for it (which is what they were of course expecting anyway).
