Correct.

Why go to this trouble to avoid looking at users photos in the cloud, set these thresholds etc. You'd only need to scan on device if for some reason you blocked your own ability to scan in cloud (ie, for E2E photos - which I don't think users actually want).
- matwood 5y agoSomething like all of iCloud getting E2EE would be a big feature and likely only be announced at an event. I agree, if the CSAM on device scanning isn’t followed on by something else, it seems like a lot of work and PR flak for little gain.
- slownews45 5y agoRight - the system is actually quite complex to blind apple to something they currently have sitting with their own keys on it on their own servers. I mean, they can (and maybe will) just scan directly?
