I didn't realise that theres no requirement to scan. So I'll yield on that. But its still possible that Apple are preparing for a scenario where it does become a requirement in the future. As for the E2EE part, I can't imagine that this wouldn't be launched with E2EE alongside, otherwise theres literally no point whatsoever, they could have just done the scan on iCloud. As for why this combats 'your data being whisked away', check the technical documentation. What they're doing with Private Set Intersection and Threshold Secret Sharing are clear steps to make this system unexploitable, anonymous, and so that it doesn't leak any metadata whatsoever. https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Technical_Summary.pdf https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Techni...
