Respondent not recorded

QuestionAsked how Meta will address CSAM becoming invisible to it once Messenger is end-to-end encrypted, and whether it has estimated the resulting percentage drop in CSAM detection/reporting to NCMEC.

ResponseMeta describes non-message-content signals (behavioral detection, on-device nudity protection) it will still use post-encryption and cites WhatsApp's CSAM reporting volume as reassurance, but does not give the requested percentage-reduction estimate.
