With currently I obviously meant the system that's going to be deployed in the next major update.

The rest of my points still stand.

Yes, and I mean the same system, based on the same statements from Apple.

Clientside scanning will happen even without iCloud. Apple expects and pressures all users to use iCloud, defaults it to on without interaction or consent, and does not test the non-iCloud paths very well. You can't even setup a homepod to be a simple wifi speaker without iCloud.

> Clientside scanning will happen even without iCloud.

Again, you don't know that. "Scanning" (whatever that even means) non-iCloud photos would be completely pointless.

And you said:

> The only reason to do this clientside when the data is already readable on the server is to do it to images that aren't hitting the cloud.

Again, you don't know that at all. You present your speculation as the "only reason" with no knowledge at all.
