According to the filing lawyers, the class action is \u201con behalf of thousands of survivors of child sexual abuse for [Apple] knowingly allowing the storage of images and videos documenting their abuse on iCloud and the company\u2019s defectively designed products.

Apple and others defend decisions such as the removal of certain apps as compliance with local laws. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/10\/21\/new-security-warning-for-iphone-users-after-apples-surprise-app-ban\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/10\/21\/new-security-warning-for-iphone-users-after-apples-surprise-app-ban\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/10\/21\/new-security-warning-for-iphone-users-after-apples-surprise-app-ban\/\" aria-label=\"You can see the risks as to where this might go if Pandora\u2019s box is opened\" rel=\"noopener\">You can see the risks as to where this might go if Pandora\u2019s box is opened<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, the new lawsuit is just a sideshow to the real debate that will take place under the new Trump administration. During the last Trump presidency, Deputy U.S Attorney General Rod Rosenstein introduced the concept of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/speech\/deputy-attorney-general-rod-j-rosenstein-delivers-remarks-encryption-united-states-naval?ref=cyberlaw.stanford.edu\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/speech\/deputy-attorney-general-rod-j-rosenstein-delivers-remarks-encryption-united-states-naval?ref=cyberlaw.stanford.edu\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/speech\/deputy-attorney-general-rod-j-rosenstein-delivers-remarks-encryption-united-states-naval?ref=cyberlaw.stanford.edu\" aria-label=\"responsible encryption\">responsible encryption<\/a>,\u201d which aims to tackle \u2018warrant-proof\u2019 encryption, where tech platforms don\u2019t hold any decryption keys, which law enforcement describes as \u201cgoing dark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As <em>The New York Times <\/em>explains, \u201cthe lawsuit is the second of its kind against Apple, but its scope and potential financial impact could force the company into a yearslong litigation process over an issue it has sought to put behind it. And it points to increasing concern that the privacy of Apple\u2019s iCloud allows illegal material to be circulated without being as easily spotted as it would be on social media services like Facebook. For years, Apple has reported less abusive material than its peers, capturing and reporting a small fraction of what is caught by Google and Facebook. It has defended its practice by saying it is protecting user privacy, but child safety groups have criticized it for not doing more to stop the spread of that material.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to the lawsuit and its coverage, an Apple spokesperson told me that \u201cchild sexual abuse material is abhorrent and we are committed to fighting the ways predators put children at risk. We are urgently and actively innovating to combat these crimes without compromising the security and privacy of all our users. Features like Communication Safety, for example, warn children when they receive or attempt to send content that contains nudity to help break the chain of coercion that leads to child sexual abuse. We remain deeply focused on building protections that help prevent the spread of CSAM before it starts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now the FBI has reopened the debate into \u201cresponsibly managed encryption,\u201d under the guise of Salt Typhoon hacking U.S. telco networks and the consequent warnings for American citizens to use encrypted messaging and calls where they can. The lawsuit makes the same point in a different way, but at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s a third leg to this stool\u2014Europe. EU regulators and lawmakers are still fighting amongst themselves over the proposal to resolve this problem differently. Again, taking CSAM as its starting point, the EU proposal is to introduce \u201cchat control,\u201d essentially making tech platforms responsible for the illegality of the content they transmit, forcing them to monitor content without actually participating in the monitoring itself. Users would need to agree to such content screening to install and use end-to-end encrypted platforms. This does not yet have the votes and sponsorship it needs amongst EU member states to proceed, but that could change.<\/p>\n<p>Apple points to its advances in communication safety technologies as a safeguard for minors using its platforms, but that won\u2019t satisfy law enforcement. A perfect storm could now be brewing for Apple and the 2 billion users that rely on its market-leading end-to-end encryption across much of its ecosystem to secure their data\u2014even Apple, Apple says, cannot access their data under <em>any<\/em> circumstances.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/12\/07\/googles-rcs-nightmare-why-you-need-a-new-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Google\u2019s RCS Nightmare\u2014Why You Need A New App\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/12\/07\/googles-rcs-nightmare-why-you-need-a-new-app\/\"><span class=\"link-embed__info\"><span class=\"link-embed__provider\">Forbes<\/span><span class=\"link-embed__title\">Google\u2019s RCS Nightmare\u2014Why You Need A New App<\/span><small class=\"link-embed__byline\">By <span class=\"link-embed__author\">Zak Doffman<\/span><\/small><\/span><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail-wrapper\"><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail allow-inline-style\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/specials-images.forbesimg.com\/imageserve\/5f59d8280c615cc5ba6e4a7a\/960x0.jpg?cropX1=1467&amp;cropX2=6559&amp;cropY1=1186&amp;cropY2=4346);\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But if the new Trump administration wants to push the FBI point, that \u201cU.S. tech companies can provide readable content in response to a lawful court order,\u201d and if Europe does the same, and if there\u2019s a sensitive lawsuit exposing the risks in such encryption running in the background, then 2025 could prove difficult.<\/p>\n<p>For all those Apple\u2019s users this is a huge risk.
