Based on the letter by NCMEC describing opponents to the technology as “screeching voices of the minority”, I suspect this is some kind of variant of being guilted into doing something by either lobbying, marketing or internal proponents. This resulted in a tone deaf death march and now they’re trying to work out how to spin it. This is a fairly typical corporate failure mode. Sometimes the best thing is to do nothing as they have found out because now they’re stuck in a position where the two exits are either piss off everyone by writing off their privacy stance or piss off everyone else for canning child porn scanning. What a complete fuck up.
