Itâ(TM)s not about bandwidth, itâ(TM)s about latency. With sub-ms, you can have real-time remote control of physical processes. Imagine a surgical robot in an ambulance being operated remotely by a surgeon to save someone.

I am an European citizen, and therefore only have indirect knowledge of the situation in the US.

If you look at the data, there seems to be two approaches that work: gun control and education.

Gun control in the US seems to be something that will take several generations to produce any effect, given the enormous number of guns out there already.

Education usually takes only about 15 to 20 years to produce societal effects. Reality is, countries such as Switzerland and Israel also have extremely high gun ownership rates (government mandated) and very little gun criminality. But just compare the education systems...

Ever heard of SWAT?

Itwould be quite simple for these apps to create whitelists of access points and force all users to access through the corporate VPNâ¦

Iâ(TM)m completely with you (unfortunately, no mod points at the moment). Defense is about getting out of a situation alive and uninjured. And 99% of the time (also been practicing several martial arts for 36 years now), that happens with de-escalating the situation.

I admit I am out of my depth here so, honest question: for hashing to be an effective strategy wouldnâ(TM)t they have to use algorithms resistant to cropping and tampering such as this: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/do... If so, could this potentially lead to a picture of a picture still triggering the algorithm? Will be thankful for any explanation!

Ok, I will spell it out for you.

There are so many attack vectors that could potentially destroy the life of an iPhone owner that it's not even funny.

I am not a Cybersecurity expert, but here you have a couple I have devised on my own:
1. I know your phone syncs with iCloud. If I have temporary (about one minute should be enough) physical access to your LOCKED phone, I can take pictures of CSAM imagery, for instance, from the screen of another device. Next time you unlock, those get copied to your library, synced with iCloud, and your life is destroyed;
2. I know your phone syncs with iCloud. I know you have auto-download enabled on IM (Whatsapp, for instance). I send you 30 images of CSAM in the middle of the night, so you don't actually see them, and then delete them from the Whatsapp chat. They get automatically downloaded to your gallery, synced to iCloud. You wake up the next morning with a SWAT wake-up call. Your life is destroyed.

Two examples I just came up with. I can probably create a couple more, again, with no cybersecurity/hacking/whatever expertise.

Scared already?

Let me put here a couple of scenarios for you. #1. Someone has temporary access to your phone. Takes a couple of pictures of CSAM photos displayed on another phone. When you, unknowingly, unlock, your life is ruined. #2 Someone sends you a couple of CSAM pictures on an IM you have auto-download turned on, and then proceeds to delete such pictures from the chat. Your life is ruined. And I am not even a security expert...

Well, to be fair, they do demonstrate they can run Crysis... :)

I think there is an angle most comments are missing: how easy it becomes to destroy someoneâ(TM)s life. Let us see two scenarios. 1. You have access to someoneâ(TM)s phone for some seconds; 2. Take pictures of child porn using that phone while locked (for instance, of pictures stored in your own phone); 3. Put the victimâ(TM)s phone back. Now when they unlock the pictures you took will be copied to the gallery and uploaded to the iCloud without the victims knowledge. Scenario 2: 1. You know (or assume) your victim has the auto-downloading of pictures enabled on some IM app; 2- Send incriminating pictures at a time the victim is unlikely to be using the phone. The photos get copied to the gallery; 3- Delete said photos on the chat to both you and the victim. The victim will only see some erased messages in your chat. By the time they notice the pictures in their gallery, it will be too late and it will be up to them to prove they are not guilty. I can come up with other scenarios. And people better versed in security will too.

The answer to that is quite simple: someone not making money from selling an Internet subscription. As in, someone bundling the Internet subscription as part of a package that makes money from selling stuff to customers: Amazon Prime.
