Scanning on device (albeit only of photos shared off device) seems like an ill-considered PR move for a whole child safety push (perhaps with a "look at how powerful our iPhone chips are" angle). As you mentioned, they've already been doing these checks for some time on their servers, and people concerned about false positives should realize that Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon et al are doing identical checks with a very similar process. I imagine there are some frantic meetings at Apple today. However the grossly misleading claims people have been making to fear-monger aren't helpful.
