A week ago I wrote about my difficulties in contacting Apple about my concerns regarding their CSAM scanning<\/a>. In addition to signing an online petition, I wanted to personally reach out to Apple and tell them of my disappointment at their abandonment of their long-term promise to respect their users\u2019 privacy. Irreal readers are well aware of my position on all this but I wanted to make sure that Apple knew too.<\/p>\n

There doesn\u2019t appear to be anyway for the man in the street to communicate with Apple other than through a very circumscribed support framework. Since I wrote that post, I\u2019ve discovered a site about the controversy that has an interface that allows you to email any of several Apple executives<\/a>. That means that I will<\/i> be able to reach out directly. In addition, the site has its own open letter to Apple that you can sign. It\u2019s a little easier than the one I originally wrote about<\/a> because you don\u2019t have to have a GitHub account to sign it.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to tell Apple what you think or even just sign the letter\u2014and if you\u2019re an Apple user, you should\u2014this site is an excellent resource. The story of Apple\u2019s CSAM scanning continues to get more complicated and I\u2019ll be writing about further in in a day or two. Android users, I\u2019m sure, are \u201cMeh, what\u2019s the big deal? We\u2019ve been living with this forever.\u201d But many of us are Apple users not because we like paying more but because we respected Apple\u2019s commitment to protecting our privacy. Sadly, it appears those days are over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
