Scanning iCloud is far less privacy preserving. That means Apple “knows” about all of your photos. With what Apple is proposing, Apple knows nothing about any of your photos unless you reach a threshold of about 30 CSAM images through the use of cryptographic safety vouchers uploaded with each image. That is, if through cryptography, about 30 of the images can be proven to be a subset of a combination of CSAM images from multiple databases is the only time when anyone other than the user can learn anything about the photos.

iCloud is already available for lawful intercept. It's not E2EE because the FBI requested it. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusive-idUSKBN1ZK1CT https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...

  iCloud is already available for lawful intercept. It's not E2EE because the FBI requested it. Well, we don't know the details. But what we do know is Apple can't encrypt all of iCloud without solving CSAM first.

    They can scan before sharing a file, like Dropbox does.
