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

The lawsuit argues that by not doing more to prevent the spread of this material, it’s forcing victims to relive their trauma.

Apple first announced the system in 2021 , explaining that it would use digital signatures from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and other groups.
