Police to begin regular, warrant-free searches of homes for child abuse material

Using a satirical analogy of warrant-free physical home searches, this piece criticizes Apple's announced on-device CSAM scanning initiative. The author argues that Apple's system — a proprietary ML algorithm scanning all devices continuously without warrants — is functionally equivalent to allowing government agents unrestricted access to private homes, and warns of the potential for scope creep under congressional pressure. The piece frames Apple's voluntary cooperation as more alarming than a government mandate would be.
