About this episode

Henry interviews John Ozbay about Cryptee's approach to end-to-end encrypted photo sharing and the challenges of balancing privacy with abuse prevention.

End-to-end encrypted file sharing may sound simple, but for Cryptee, it took five years to ship. In this interview, Henry sits down with John Ozbay, founder and CEO of Cryptee, to talk through why: preventing CSAM, why client-side scanning doesn't work, how Cryptee's solution was designed to raise the barrier to mass spread without compromising encryption, and the broader philosophical question of where developer liability ends and moral responsibility begins. 🔗 SOURCES & LINKS • Cryptee: https://crypt.ee • Stop Chat Control: https://stopchatcontrol.eu • Open Web Advocacy: https://open-web-advocacy.org • EDRI: https://edri.org ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 🎥 VIDEO Watch on YouTube 🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE Keep Techlore Talks independent & growing: ★ Support this podcast ★
