Isn’t Apply going to only scan the images that are about to be uploaded to iCloud? If so, I have a difficult time seeing how it differs from what Google is doing. Google scans what you’ve uploaded, Apple scans what you are about to upload. |

People give Apple a lot of flak for the fact that Apple holds encryption keys for iCloud Photos (because obviously they do CSAM scanning server-side), but now that Apple is taking steps to ensure that they doesn’t hold these keys, they take flak again.
If you don’t use iCloud photos, this change doesn’t affect you. If you use iCloud photos already, nothing changes for you except where in the process the scanning takes place. Your phone already scans all your photos while your phone is asleep and charging to classify them, so this isn’t really much more than it already does.
