It isn’t being circumvented. It is intended to work on photos that are uploaded to iCloud. If you don’t use that (via turning it off or via selling everything Apple and switching to Linux) then you aren’t using it.

No. The intent is not that it works on iCloud. The intent is catching pedos.

This is obviously not effective given that you can get around it that easily if you want to. Coincidentally though, it will be totally effective at surveilling the 99.999% that are normal users and won’t go out of their way to disable iCloud. The whole CP thing is such an obvious farce.
