"Some metadata and usage information stored in iCloud remains under standard data protection, even when Advanced Data Protection is enabled. For example, dates and times when a file or object was modified are used to sort your information, and checksums of file and photo data are used to help Apple de-duplicate and optimize your iCloud and device storage..."

Photo checksums can't be e2e encrypted huh? They reported today they abandoned their plans to do CSAM scanning on people's devices[1] and connecting the dots it seems like they wont need to since they can just do it in the cloud.
