苹果因放弃在iCloud上实施CSAM检测系统被起诉

Apple Sued Over Abandoning CSAM Detection System for iCloud

苹果公司因未在iCloud上实施检测儿童性虐待内容（CSAM）的系统而被起诉。

Apple is being sued over its decision not to implement a system that would have scanned iCloud photos for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

《纽约时报》报道称，诉讼认为，苹果未能采取更多措施阻止此类内容的传播，迫使受害者不断重温创伤。诉讼描述苹果曾宣布“旨在保护儿童的广受欢迎的改进设计”，但随后未能“实施这些设计或采取任何措施检测和限制”此类内容。

The lawsuit argues that by not doing more to prevent the spread of this material, it’s forcing victims to relive their trauma, according to The New York Times. The suit describes Apple as announcing “a widely touted improved design aimed at protecting children,” then failing to “implement those designs or take any measures to detect and limit” this material.

苹果最初于2021年宣布这一系统，计划通过国家失踪与被剥削儿童中心（NCMEC）及其他组织提供的数字签名来检测用户iCloud库中已知的CSAM内容。然而，在隐私和安全倡导者警告该系统可能为政府监控创造后门后，苹果似乎放弃了这些计划。

Apple first announced the system in 2021, explaining that it would use digital signatures from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other groups to detect known CSAM content in users’ iCloud libraries. However, it appeared to abandon those plans after security and privacy advocates suggested they could create a backdoor for government surveillance.

据报道，这起诉讼来自一名27岁的女性，她以化名起诉苹果。她表示自己在婴儿时期曾被一名亲属侵害，该亲属还将她的影像上传至网络。至今，她几乎每天都会收到执法机构的通知，告知有人因持有这些影像而被指控。

The lawsuit reportedly comes from a 27-year-old woman who is suing Apple under a pseudonym. She said a relative molested her when she was an infant and shared images of her online. She still receives law enforcement notices nearly every day about someone being charged over possessing those images.

代理律师詹姆斯·马什（James Marsh）表示，可能有多达2,680名受害者有权在此案中获得赔偿。

Attorney James Marsh, who is involved with the lawsuit, said there’s a potential group of 2,680 victims who could be entitled to compensation in this case.

苹果公司发言人向《纽约时报》表示，苹果正在“紧急且积极地创新，以在不损害所有用户的安全和隐私的情况下打击这些犯罪行为”。

A company spokesperson told The Times Apple is “urgently and actively innovating to combat these crimes without compromising the security and privacy of all our users.”

今年8月，一名9岁的女孩及其监护人也曾起诉苹果，指控该公司未能解决iCloud上的CSAM问题。

In August, a 9-year-old girl and her guardian sued Apple, accusing the company of failing to address CSAM on iCloud.
