> In my opinion their goal was to get stuff to a state where they could encrypt everything on iCloud so that even they can't access it. They basically did. If you turn on Advanced Data Protection, you get all of the encryption benefits, sans scanning. The interesting thing is that if you turn on ADP though, binary file hashes are unencrypted on iCloud, which would theoretically allow someone to ask for those hashes in a legal request. But it's obviously not as useful for CSAM detection, as, say, PhotoDNA hashes. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 |

For anyone else wondering, to enable it just go to iOS Settings -> iCloud and you'll see "Advanced Data Protection." Toggle it to enabled to create a recovery key, which you'll then be prompted to input correctly after saving it somewhere safe, and then return to the iCloud Settings page, toggle it one more time and enter your recovery key again to confirm.
