Afaik this is just his re-spun piece from May that is linked to multiple times in the post. It didn’t take off the first time around, so he wrote it again in another way. TLDR: Facebook has the content scanner tech ready, if this were deployed to native platforms like iOS, it would be disastrous.

Facebook already scans convos for malware links & has had programs for detecting revenge porn etc.. They have always maintained a “report” feature for their encrypted option in Messenger that decrypts your chat and sends the logs to FB for moderation. The “content scanners” aren’t new and imo having them on the phone isn’t the issue—it’s moreso that the Five Eyes are pressuring tech companies into building backdoors & apparently succeeding

“...Facebook announced earlier this year preliminary results from its efforts to move a global mass surveillance infrastructure directly onto users’ devices where it can bypass the protections of end-to-end encryption. In Facebook’s vision, the actual end-to-end encryption client itself such as WhatsApp will include embedded content moderation and blacklist filtering algorithms. These algorithms will be continually updated from a central cloud service, but will run locally on the user’s device, scanning each cleartext message before it is sent and each encrypted message after it is decrypted.”
