This is major news. Companies such as Apple and Dropbox are implementing end to end encryption, at least as an option. Was client side scanning implemented finally? Perhaps E2E paves the way to client side scanning? For the hardware key, Apple is a bit late though. All other cloud companies have that 2FA.

Client side scanning was scrapped because 80% of the internet couldn't understand how the implementation worked. Maybe they'll try it again after this.

  > Client side scanning was scrapped Apple never said that it was scrapped. They did, however say that they intend to do it. EDIT: Follow the links from those articles. Apple never killed the plan! This is what Apple actually said: > Based on feedback from customers, advocacy groups, researchers and others, we have decided to take additional time over the coming months to collect input and make improvements before releasing these critically important child safety features. That's not killed. That's just delayed. It's also them reiterating their intention to ship these misfeatures. It was, as pointed out, widely misreported. Apple is very good at writing technically truthful things that say one thing that cause reporters to report a different thing (which is not factual). This becomes an "everybody knows" sort of thing where the narrative that is widely believed/accepted is not what Apple actually said. They exploit poor reading comprehension ability.

  Pretty much everyone understood that your phone would scan itself for illegal porn, which is accurate. No one wanted that, regardless of how the implementation worked.
