West Virginia's attorney general sued Apple, alleging its iCloud service allowed child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to be stored and shared, accusing the company of prioritizing user privacy over child safety. The lawsuit cites internal communications calling iCloud the "greatest platform for distributing child porn" and notes Apple's comparatively low CSAM reporting. Apple responded that it prioritizes user safety and privacy, highlighting features like Communication Safety and upcoming content reporting tools, while opposing scanning stored iCloud photos due to privacy concerns.
