What does it even mean that they propose a voluntary system? Who would want to voluntarily let themselves be monitored? How would that be beneficial to the supposed goal of detecting CSAM?

    I believe it means that it is voluntary for the service providers to implement such measures, not that users can opt-in. This means that any E2EE message service providers wouldn't be required to implement client side scanning, but that any provider not offering E2EE could still scan server side and report.
