This sounds exactly like that CSAM "feature" they wanted to add but created a huge outrage because of how incredibly invasive it was.
It sounds like it only needs a few extra lines of code to get exactly what they wanted before, they just packaged it differently and we all fell for it like frogs getting boiled in water.

- theshrike79 2y agoOh ffs, not this one again. The CSAM filtering was a best of class implementation. I'm pretty sure I'm one of maybe a dozen people who actually read the spec before throwing a hissy-fit about "muh privacy!" The only actual "flaw" was that maybe a state-level actor could make it scan for bad stuff on your device. BUT they can do it to your cloud data _today_. And if you disabled cloud uploads, the local scanning was disabled too.
