Apple Faces Lawsuit for Dropping iCloud CSAM Detection

Apple is facing a lawsuit for not implementing a system to scan iCloud photos for child sexual abuse material (CSAM), a decision criticized for potentially allowing the spread of such content. The lawsuit, filed by a woman under a pseudonym, claims Apple failed to protect victims by not deploying a previously announced detection system. Apple had initially planned to use digital signatures to identify CSAM but abandoned the idea due to privacy concerns. The case could involve up to 2,680 victims seeking compensation.
