It took me a minute to figure out what is supposed to be "new" about it. Apparently they still want a back door to all your encrypted messaging, but they promise not to use it to look at text, only images, unless you "accept" the terms of service as everyone obviously will need to. I guess the idea is that people are becoming aware that the current "AI" systems are not really capable of understanding language well enough to do what is wanted here, but many haven't yet caught on to the fact that they're also sufficiently bad at discerning the meaning of images.
I wonder how much worse things would be if AI actually could do these things.
