I understand the concerns that such a feature might bring, but if I got that right only the photos which are scheduled for upload into iCloud are subject to the scanning. According to reports, the images in iCloud are already subject to CASM scans, but on the server side instead of the client side. So if anything, the on device processing would be a privacy improvement?
Am I missing something? Is the technology used on the client side more error prone? Is the process which will lead to the reports different than with the other approaches already in place (including those used by other services such as Google Drive)
Imagine that you're a lobster, and Apple dropped you into some water. Apple assures you that you're just getting a nice warm bath. Some lobsters are a little nervous given how many other lobsters have been boiled alive after being promised a nice warm bath.
