This is just another case of, 'your phone' is not yours. People stores their lives and thoughts in a device that they have no control of.
I am not against those use per se. I am worried about what it means legally. The minimum that we need is a more clear legal framework. This is a private company accessing personal data without consent and without any formal requirement from law enforcement.

This is specific to photo synchronization to the cloud, which is an optional service. In that sense, it isn't really doing anything different than say a OneDrive photo sync app - except it is doing the check on the client side, rather than having the server decrypt to do the check. It is part of the default install and setup wizard, but thats a battle we lost decades ago in the PC world. You still have to opt into iCloud synchronization for this to be enabled.
