That Apple would even consider this is justification enough to switch to Android.\
\
\"The task Apple intends its new surveillance system to perform---preventing their cloud systems from being used to store digital contraband, in this case unlawful images uploaded by their customers---is traditionally performed by searching their systems. While it's still problematic for anybody to search through a billion people's private files, the fact that they can only see the files you gave them is a crucial limitation.\
\
Now, however, that's all set to change. Under the new design, your phone will now perform these searches on Apple's behalf before your photos have even reached their iCloud servers, and---yada, yada, yada---if enough \"forbidden content\" is discovered, law-enforcement will be notified.\"
