  • A major difference here is Apple was checking hashes of images against known materials and never transmitted/inspected the material themselves.

    A picture sent to a pediatrician wouldn’t match a hash. So the claim here is that Google is manually inspecting all images, or at best, all images flagged by some back-end image inspection system, which seems a bit far-fetched to me. Also messages sent to a medical provider should be sent via a secure message gateway or encrypted mail at the least.

    This story is either missing a lot of key information or was fabricated.
