I own my device, I don't own their cloud. That's a big difference. Don't co-opt my property to do work you want done. Data stored on your servers is your business, so doing the checking there is fine, as long using them isn't mandatory.
- Gigachad 4y agoThey can't do the check there because clearly they had already been working on encrypting the data end to end making that impossible. So the middle ground was end to end encryption with on device scanning which is a step up from no encryption. Somehow we ended up with the best option of no scanning at all which is nice.
