    Apple says the detection is done on-device, but it’s closed source and I can’t think of a way to test it so I wouldn’t trust it

      The calls are encrypted with AES-256 so you’d have to have the phone decrypting the stream and then connecting to an Apple server for nudity verification without on-device detection. It’s entirely possible to verify/intercept what’s being communicated from a device even if it is closed source.

        Who is to say it isnt on device but sending all the data on again? It being closed source is the issue. It existing is the issue.

          Yep. It could even be sending metadata back
          “Child Nudity detection at 2026-10-10T10:10:10” etc

            I mean that is the perfect selling point for monitoring but there are pictures of me naked as a child on my mother’s fridge, it shoupdn’t auto flag as a criminal activity. Not arguing against you just adding a note.

        Feature detection in images is extremely light weight so it seems that it would be fairly trivial to detect someones wang before the stream is encrypted in the first place. There is likely already a ton of processing done on raw camera data before it’s encrypted and sent off-device anyway.
