I think the thumbnail is only when the threshold is passed and there's a hash match. The reason for that is an extra check to make sure there is no false positive match based on hatch match (they claim one trillion to one, but even ignoring that probably pretty rare and strictly better than everything unencrypted on iCloud anyway).

Well that's not an option on offer and even that has real tradeoffs - it would result in less CSAM getting detected. Maybe you think that's the acceptable tradeoff, but unless government legislatures also think so it doesn't really matter.
This isn't the clipper chip, this is more about enabling more security and more encryption by default but still handling CSAM.

Maybe you think that's the acceptable tradeoff, but unless government legislatures also think so it doesn't really matter. It should and can be an option. Who cares what they offer us. Do it yourself.
- fossuser 5y agoThat's just a separate topic. If you do it yourself none of this policy stuff matters.
