Different. Many people are okay if you upload files to a third party that they are then scanned by that company.
People here are not okay with a local scanner installed on your device. Despite Apple “promise” it will be only used for photos and those you “intend” to upload…. this falls on deaf ears. If you were only going to scan content intended for the cloud…. then just scan it on your servers when it arrives.
Despite talks of E2E … apple has not said this is the reason for the local scanner.
Cloud providers already do scanning. Which is fine - it's their hardware, and their service terms.
That is vastly different to a device purchased by a consumer, deciding to do something that the consumer has no control over, which may cause irreparable harm to the consumer in the case of a bug or false positive.
