That tweet thread is saying it will scan for hashes client side and upload the result, circumventing E2E encryption, but then says theyre just going to do it on your icloud backups because they dont have E2E encryption, so which is it?

All?

It doesn't say that. Today Apple servers scan uploaded photos. Tomorrow Apple phones will scan uploaded photos. The next day Apple phones could scan not uploaded photos.

  • The next day Apple phones could periodically listen to the environment via the internal microphone. The next day Apple phones could take and upload photos of the environment by itself.
