What good is end to end encryption if the OS is prebuilt with a method of breaking that encryption? This is definitional backdooring, and you’re back to trusting Apple’s goodwill (and/or willingness to resist governments) to keep your data safe (I.e., not add new decryptable triggers).

Not having backdoors is a hard requirement for end to end encryption offering privacy guarantees.



This is taking the discussion into the realm of hypothetical. If we end up in a world where there are reliable public cloud providers that offer end to end encryption with no content scanning whatsoever, I'll be glad to give them my money.
