If iCloud is not end-to-end encrypted, why is this necessary? I mean, why can't they scan content on ingress?

- Grustaf 5y ago1. They don't want to know anything about the result of the scanning until you have 30 matches. This way is much more private. 2. If they scanned iCloud, they could never start encrypting that.
- shuckles 5y agoThere is also no transparency if the scope or depth of iCloud scanning increases.
- nthj 5y agoI’ve seen a few researchers raise the idea that moving this scanning to the client is effectively a political prerequisite for enabling iCloud E2E, so I suspect that may be coming.
- merpnderp 5y agoWe have no evidence this is true, and Apple has certainly not taken any of the plethora of oppurtunities they've had to make this argument. So there's no reason to believe this to be the case.
