and it will never ever be E2E because of the US laws or if it will be ever encrypted it will use the backdoored NSA crypto (and Apple PR not even tried to hint at it to calm down the waters).
I agree the algorithm is prety clever but it feels that is not designed to solve the CSAM problem but to look good on someone CV.
Now you have the worst of both worlds, Apple has access to your photos on the server(and if they would respect the laws they should scan them for CSAM already since they are responsible on what they store and share (I mean when you share stuff)) and Apple has a scanning program inside your phone.

By setting a threshold of 30 positive results before you can see any of the scan results, customers are much more protected from the inevitable false positives.
