This is what Microsoft and Google are doing already. This is why I don't backup my photos to a cloud any more.
And if you are worried, don't upload to a some smaller provider either because some of them might have fun looking at the backups of the things that people find to to sensitive to upload to Google.
There's nothing sensitive - I just don't like being treated as a potential criminal.
Then you should be fine.

I'd still recommend resisting chat control since once that is in place they'll soon go after independent hosters.
