West Virginia Sues Apple Over Allegations of Child Sexual Abuse Material on iCloud

West Virginia has filed a lawsuit against Apple, alleging that the tech giant allowed the distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) via its iCloud services and devices. The state accuses Apple of negligence, claiming that it failed to detect and report instances of child exploitation despite being aware of the issues for years. The lawsuit asserts that iCloud has become a platform for sharing child pornography, significantly endangering child safety. This legal battle could force Apple to reconsider the design and security measures of its iCloud platform in response to these serious allegations.
