The best bit is that Blu-ray supports “online content” so they can update the forced intros and trailers to fresh ones!

It does now, it didn’t at the time

We could’ve burned that bridge when we got to it. If Apple would’ve been allowed to implement on-device scanning, they could’ve done proper E2E “we don’t have the keys officer, we can’t unlock it” encryption for iCloud.

Instead what we have now is what EVERY SINGLE other cloud provider is: they scan your shit in the cloud all the time unless you specifically only upload locally-encrypted content, which 99.9999% of people will never be bothered to do.

The irony is that the Apple CSAM detection system was as good as we could make it at the time, with multiple steps to protect people from accidental positives.

But, as usual, I think I was the only one who actually read the paper and didn’t go “REEEE muh privacy!!!” after seeing the headline.
