>I guess they decided it wasn’t worth it and it’d be good to ship e2ee anyway despite that meaning it may protect CSAM. I had figured they’d enable e2ee first and then reannounce the hash check if you enable it but I guess not. I read the e2ee message as allowing the device to upload an hash to the server (it depends on what a 'raw byte checksum' actually is), and then Apple can do a check using that checksum server-side. IMHO, so long as the actual check is server-side it's fine privacy-wise.
