Apple Sued for Dropping CSAM Detection Features in 2022

A victim of childhood sexual abuse is suing Apple over its 2022 decision to drop a previously-announced plan to scan images stored in iCloud for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The woman, using a pseudonym, says Apple broke its promise to protect victims like her when it eliminated the CSAM-scanning feature. Her lawsuit demands changes to Apple practices and potential compensation for up to 2,680 other eligible victims.
