At least Google's policy with Gmail has always been clear: we give you free email, you allow us to mine your data. Same with Android and their other free services, more or less. Apple, on the other hand, is doing a complete about-face. People may have bought into iCloud (and the ecosystem, in general) due to Apple's stance on privacy, and now this?

Google's policy is to scan everything in your account, not just your email, and they have been doing so for the past decade.

Apple is adding a much more private way to scan your iCloud photos only.

"Google's system" allows your data to be misused by anyone who can get a warrant.
