      It’s e2ee, that’s just for them to legally cover their ass. They have zero knowledge of what’s uploaded.

        Proton hasn’t really gotten pushback yet as they are small. If Pedophiles start utilizing Proton for CSAM I guarantee you things will change or they will shut down. Another full e2e provider, can’t recall the name at the moment, just ended up shutting their service down when governments started coming after them. They aren’t the guys from the PirateBay.

          That’s an attack on e2ee, not on any specific provider. CSAM is just one of the ways they use to criminalize encryption.

            It’s also a real world problem, and positioning yourself as a safe haven for it isn’t going to work. Apple was trying to let you have E2E while simultaneously destroying many Governments main objection to it. Now we are back to square one, and if providers refuse to work with governments, governments will attack E2E encryption.

              I wouldn’t say it’s square one, it currently exists and is usable right now at least. So the laws haven’t won yet. It definitely can be more prevalent though.
