The marketing around this issue is problematic and it's keeping people from clearly discussing the issues. The authors of the UK bill chose to focus on CSAM _specifically_ so that they could hamstring the debate. That so much of the interview focused on "terms of service", generally understood to be something so technical that most people don't even read them and likely unenforceable in court should be a warning sign to us all.
I believe Meredith Wittaker was correct to avoid addressing the Signal TOS and how it is implemented. This would open the door to the whole "client-side CSAM scanning" (chat control) discussion which would be even more tedious.
