> Apple’s neuralMatch algorithm will continuously scan photos that are stored on a US user’s iPhone and have also been uploaded to its iCloud back-up system. Users’ photos, converted into a string of numbers through a process known as “hashing”, will be compared with those on a database of known images of child sexual abuse. This doesn't really make any sense. So it's not a Neural Engine thing but merely hash matching, and it also only applies to iCloud Backup? That is already non-e2e encrypted, so Apple can already access those files whenever it wants.
