So google wants to know the contents of your encrypted archives.

For your safety.

Overall, this seems like a good thing. Think about the majority of people you know, they watch tiktok, they use Messenger, all of Google's products.

I use GrapheneOS, SimpleX Chat, I'm not most people.

There are a million things to bash Google for, this does not seem like one of them. Their security is generally very good, their privacy is non existent.
