Google (and every other major tech company) already are doing exactly what Apple is. The only difference is that Apple is going to start doing the computing of hashes on the device for photos that are about to be uploaded, vs waiting for them to be uploaded to iCloud. To me this signals that they are going to start allowing E2E encrypted photos on iCloud but they need to compute the hashes on device to comply with the law because they cant hash them once they are encrypted.
