You have misunderstood the entire tech story.

Apple are scanning the images only when they are uploaded to iCloud, because they don't want the CSAM pictures on their servers.

And you're not alone. Reddit, Facebook, Twitter etc are full of shouting angry people who haven't understood the story at all.

It's almost became a Rorschach test between those who understand technology and those who like to shout at things.
