How is this supposed to be helpful? Wouldn't a perpetrator simply turn off iCloud syncing for their photos? Why would they even store them in the photos app in the first place?
Exactly. Especially considering it's been announced publicly.
Cynical take- as pedos move to other means of storing and sharing CSAM, there will be far fewer photos flagged for review which requires fewer reviewers to be paid by Apple. If they wanted to do this for the greater good as some users claim, wouldn't they have been far more successful in catching criminals if they kept this system secret?
Disclaimer: I'm not in support of keeping it secret nor even the system itself, but this is a question worth considering when viewing the situation through the greater good lens.
