Soon it will be illegal to offer non encrypted chats not scanned for child porn. So either encrypt or start scanning

Ylva Johansson, the EU commissioner who proposed that (apparently failing [1]) law, has used Meta’s model behaviour in reporting CSAM material to NCMEC & EU authorities as the justification for why that law should exist.

Considering it was Meta’s policy to scan even when not mandated, it seems like an internal shift in attitude.
