Apple says feature to find child images doesn't create backdoor

Apple Inc. responded to concerns about its upcoming child safety features, saying it doesn’t believe its tool for locating child pornographic images on a user’s device creates a back door that reduces privacy.

Some privacy advocates and security researchers were concerned after Apple’s announcement that the company would scan a user’s complete photo collection; instead, the company is using an on-device algorithm to detect the sexually explicit images. Apple said it would manually review abusive photos from a user’s device only if the algorithm found a certain number of them. The company also said it can adjust the algorithm over time.
