> The fundamental issue with their PSI/CSAM system is that they already were scanning iCloud content

This scanning was of email attachments being sent through an iCloud-hosted account, not of other iCloud hosted data (which is encrypted during operation.)

If it’s encrypted but apple has the key, it’s not encrypted to them.
