Forgive me, I was being sarcastic and tend to forget it sometimes does not translate very well in written text. They are definitely doing it. From day one onwards. Business as usual for these companies. At least that’s what I believe.

Why do you think they are hiding it if it’s legal and well justified? (protecting children and so on?) This is not about breaking E2E, it’s client side scanning. I’m pretty sure they would be able to do it without the public getting mad about it, same as most people accept age verification. Introducing some client side scanning would not hurt their reputation. It’s legal, EU lets then do it. So why hide it? They would be detecting a lot of people sending CP to one another but they would just have to ignore it. If they would report it they would be admitting that they are secretly scanning the messages. If they don’t report it they risk lawsuits. IMHO it just doesn’t make sense for them to do it in secret. If they saw benefit in it they would just do it in the open.
