Apple Delays CSAM Photo-Scanning Feature

Apple will "take additional time to make improvements" before launching its technology to detect and report known child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in users's iCloud photos.

Only once a threshold of at least 30 CSAM images is detected can photos be decrypted by Apple for manual inspection and potential reporting to authorities.

Verizon and T-Mobile told the New York Times that their networks are operating normally, so the reports for other carriers are likely people trying to communicate with AT&T customers. http://dlvr.it/T36R5b
