>However, when it's Apple considering end-to-end encrypted iCloud Photos or iCloud backups Apple never used the excuse they want to do end to end encryption, did this changed recently? because as far as I know only fanboys used this excuse pulled out of the air. This fanboys always have the most shit excuses like "if Apple let' s you do X what if some child does X while walking and falls in a hole, then Apple will look bad", fanboys really hurt every time their favorite company looks bad in the news see how fast some bad news gets down-voted here on HN(Tesla, MS news too from what I noticed, you start to add a comment and in 1 minute the article is gone from the first page or even flagged)

The original article is here[0], but it seems this article might not be holding its weight[1], so perhaps there never was a plan to encrypt iCloud backups. 0: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusive-idUSKBN1ZK1CT https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv... 1: https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2021/01/apple-fbi-and-iphone-backup-encryption-everything-you-wanted-to-know/ https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2021/01/apple-fbi-and-iphone-back...

  Yes, the End to End Encryption part is just fanboys speculation nothing official from Apple, even after they had a lot of bad PR they did not even slightly hint that they are doing it for E2E. Google and FB reported a lot more CSAM then Apple so far, so what do Apple fans think 1 Apple users have less CSAM then Google/FB users 2 Apple users use Google for CSAM, maybe those services are better qwuality or for what they use it for 3 Apple never cared about CSAM and did the minimum work possible, and they never care for CSAM now either but for some reason they needed this backdoor scan and report process to always run on devices. 4 some other reason, maybe Apple users are not into this shit, keeping in mind Apple is anti adult software on their devices , some people would avoid their censored devices
