Or maybe that was one person’s overreaction to another person’s
overreaction

Leetaru extrapolated a lot out of very little. I watched the
video ... and it doesn't talk about client-side scanning of
messages. It doesn't talk about messaging apps at all. It discusses
using AI techniques to find bad content on Facebook, and the
difficulties that arise from dynamic content ...
[AI best located on the device] might be true, but it also would
hand whatever secret-AI sauce Facebook has to every one of its
users to reverse engineer -- which means it's probably not going to
happen. And it is a dumb idea ...
