I know the story you’re referring to, that’s something different. That was a cloud-based storage scanning, this appears to be running entirely locally on the user’s device.
Imo, it’s a better solution, but still not perfect, and not immune to abuse.
Yeah facebooks WhatsApp was doing local phone scanning of content and then reporting back to the mothership. Its under the guise of protecting kids from abuse, but it can also be nefarious if Facebook is pressured by the government to also include a scan of anti administration talk, or a person search. Just too Orwellian in my opinion
