Yes, this whole thing is just another public relation exercise of "Apple cares about your privacy" bullshit when they are actually saying that they still plan to scan your device for CSAM. "End to end" encryption of backup on iCloud is also a joke when they are going to store the encryption keys on the iDevices on which you can run no other system software apart from the closed source ones provide by Apple.

Nope. This is a step forward for privacy.

How is having a hash-based scanner a step forward for privacy compared to not having one?

[Sporktacular]

Meant end-to-end encryption, as mentioned by poster, is a step forward. Even if the devices aren't running OSS.

Ah sorry, yes I agree.
