I guess the upside might be that this could be a compromise for them to start doing end to end encryption on iCloud backups and iCloud photo libraries. They might be able to argue that if they’re scanning for illegal content on the client side, then they don’t need to be able to decrypt on the cloud side… We’ll have to see, it’s still creepy but potentially a small net gain overall if that becomes an option…


If they claim e2e, but we scan on the client side then we should sue them for deceptive marketing.

e2e means something specific and should be an absolute requirement in a post Snowdon age, not something that is optional or a compromise.
