A proposed class action suit claims Apple is hiding behind claims of privacy in order to avoid stopping the storage of child sexual abuse material on iCloud and alleged grooming over iMessage .

The suit asks for a trial by jury and damages exceeding $5 million are sought for every person encompassed by the class action.

Apple did attempt to introduce more stringent CSAM detection tools but abandoned those following allegations that the same tools would lead to surveillance of any or all users.
