@david_vuorio @landgren Tack! fixar det. My bad. Det är bara uppdateringarna i Siri och sök som kommer till MacOS Monterey ser jag nu i pressmeddelandet.
@david_vuorio När det gäller punkt 1, tänker du att det endast gäller iMessage? Allt från Apple säger att det gäller Messages-appen och allt som skickas till/från den.…

@MartinMillnert @landgren Det är väl det här som skrämmer mest. Man måste vara vaken och byta ofta. Det kan vi inte förvänta oss av alla. Egentligen tillbaka till Christians ursprungliga poäng... debatten måste bli ljudligare och tydligare i samhället.

@landgren @MartinMillnert Håller verkligen med. Målet torde vara att normalisera det som ger mest frihet. Lite som att jag använder Signal för att normalisera, inte för att jag nödvändigtvis har något att dölja. Personer som jag lider nog minst risk.
Men jag börjar redan bli gammal och bitter... 😬

@MartinMillnert @landgren Jag använder jag ibland detta nyhetsinslag som exempel. Det är någon annanstans (Portugal), ett problematiskt verktyg när man funderar ett par varv, men rapporteras som positivt. Det finns ofta en oförmåga, bristande vokabulär och metod - att ifrågasätta.

@fabiovenni This is a backdoor placed on an Internet-connected personal device containing all your personal data. The backdoor is designed to scan for matches against a database provided by an authority outside Apple, and a system is put in place to report matches to authorities.
Google promised a fix after its photo-categorization software labeled black people as gorillas in 2015.
Their “fix” was to censor “gorilla” from their search, as well as “chimp”, “chimpanzee” and “monkey”. That’s how bad the technology is.

5 years later, their Vision AI was shown to provide these automated labels when decoding images:
Black person + handheld thermometer = gun
Asian person + handheld thermometer = electronic device
Black hand + handheld thermometer = gun
Same picture with light skin = monocular
Again, as they always do, Google apologized.

“In the absence of more rigorous testing, it is impossible to say that the system is biased” they write.
Gee, I wonder who should perform that rigorous testing…
Remember when Amazon proved to have an AI-based recruiting tool that was biased against women. They couldn’t fix that either. Their solution was to scrap it.

I read a lot of manifestos for ethical design. I think the most common weakness is the absence of this sentiment:
* Seek outside counsel.
We can never properly anticipate risks and impact without talking to people who know better. The people at risk.
My walkthrough of what Apple's recently announced child safety features truly mean, and their potential negative impact. There is significant cause for worry with these steps into mass surveillance.
Lots of links and references to people smarter than me.

"Many [Apple employees] expressed worries that the feature could be exploited by repressive governments looking to find other material for censorship or arrests, according to workers who saw the days-long thread."

This is hugely important. The way Apple are releasing information bit by bit allows them to continuously reframe, making it seem as if critics are confused - when they truly are not.
Watch the timeline. x.com/Iwillleavenow/…
I keep seeing Apple say their phone's are the same globally, not different by country. In the same breath they say on-device detection will be rolled out first in the US. Meanwhile: FaceTime was blocked in Saudi Arabia. And lots of compromise in China:

"Attempts to limit sexually explicit speech tend to (accidentally or on purpose) harm LGBTQ people more. Many of these rules are aimed in particular at sex workers, and LGBTQ people are disproportionately likely to use sex work as means of survival."

The huge pushback from the privacy community has delayed Apple’s rollout. This is not yet a win but an indication of how important it is to keep fighting against notions like this. It moves the needle.

“Apple's plan to conduct on-device scanning of photos and messages is the most dangerous proposal from any tech company in modern history,” says Evan Greer, deputy director of digital rights nonprofit Fight for the Future.
