Last words to Tim Cook?

************
There have been people that suggest that we should have a backdoor. But the reality is if you put a backdoor in, that backdoor’s for everybody, for good guys and bad guys… I think everybody’s coming around also to recognizing that any backdoor means a backdoor for bad guys as well as good guys. And so a backdoor is a nonstarter. It means we are all not safe… I don’t support a backdoor for any government, ever.


We do think that people want us to help them keep their lives private. We see that privacy is a fundamental human right that people have. We are going to do everything that we can to help maintain that trust. — Apple CEO Tim Cook, October 1, 2015

Jokes on you, they didn't create a back door. They created a front door!

And they've already found and/or generated images that cause collisions with the NCMEC hashes:

Working Collision? · Issue #1 · AsuharietYgvar/AppleNeuralHash2ONNX

Can you verify that these two images collide? Here's what I see from following your directions: $ python3 nnhash.py NeuralHash/model.onnx neuralhash_128x96_seed1.dat beagle360.png 59a34eabe31910abf...

Here's a collection of images that, if you added them to your photo library and had iCloud Photos enabled, would probably get you reported as a potential criminal:
