I didn't say anything about breaking E2E encryption. Anything a human in the middle can review in any event isn't E2E encrypted. Call it something else. The issue is the hash algorithm is secret. The decryption threshold is secret. The database of forbidden content can't be audited. People claim it includes entirely legal images. And it's a small step from scanning local only files.

It's still end-to-end for non-CSAM-matching content. Sounds fair, as long as it's strictly for CSAM check purposes.

  > as long as it's strictly for CSAM check purposes And that's precisely the leaky part of this setup. Nothing about this system's design prevents that from changing on a mere whim or government request. Next year they could be adding new back-end checks against political dissident activity, Uyghur Muslims, ... and we'd be none the wiser.
