Client side scanning is not yet here and won’t come with the current law. The can scan cloud storage and, if possible, messages. Voluntarily, the are not forced, but they are eager to do it. Client side scanning will come with the next iteration of the law which isn’t just here yet. And hopefully will never come.

Client side scanning is not yet here and won’t come with the current law. The can scan cloud storage and, if possible, messages. We’re talking about client side scanning of messages here. This is what Chat Control is about. What ‘client side scanning’ are you talking about? Voluntarily, the are not forced, but they are eager to do it. So I will ask again: why aren’t they? The are eager, it’s legal, it’s been legal for 5 years. Why aren’t they doing it? Why are you saying it will not come with current law? Chat Control 1.0 is about client side scanning of messages. Chat Control 2.0 doesn’t change that, it still protects E2E. Chat Control 2.0 is more about age verification, not about scanning messages. I don’t think we’re even talking about same thing.
