Today it does that. Tomorrow who knows...
It would be easy to extend this to scan for 'wrongthink'.
Next logical steps would be to scan for: confidential government documents, piracy, sensitive items, porn in some countries, LGBT content in countries where it's illegal, etc... (and not just on icloud backed up files, everything)
This could come either via Apple selling this as a product or forced by governments...
