The Wire with Jemima: August 10, 2021

Today on the Tuesday Wire, Jemima Huston investigates Apple's new technology that will scan their US consumer’s devices for known child sex abuse images (CSAM). She speaks to Manager of the Child Exploitation Team for the New Zealand Police Detective Senior Sergeant Alex Carter, Chief Censor David Shanks and Privacy Commissioner John Edwards about some of the issues surrounding Apple's technology. Such as the CSAM situation in New Zeland, how Apple’s technology might impact New Zealand’s response to CSAM if it was rolled out here, whether Apple’s technology would breach New Zealand privacy laws and whether people even have the right to privacy when it comes to storing CSAM on their personal devices. 

Joe Wickins reportes the situation with the Line 3 oil pipeline in the United States and its impact on the environment and indigenous people. 

Jemima wraps it up with  achat with Palestinan Youth Aotearoa’s Fathi Hassneiah and Tāmaki Loves Palestine’s Robin Wilson-Whiting about their joint project to screen David Osit’s documentary Mayor this Sunday at the Capitol in Balmoral, Auckland. They discuss the situation in Palestine, the work of Palestinan Youth Aoteroa and the screening event.
