This article from Forbes notes otherwise, citing a warrant filed in Seattle for a case.

I get the sense the interview is saying that they haven't scanned photos - like looking at actual contents - but they've always checked hashes. It is super confusing though, and I'd like to see Apple clarify this further.
- tpush 5y agoWhat I meant and the interview is saying is that they haven't ever scanned 'iCloud Photo Library'. As you point out, they were (still are?) scanning iCloud emails (only on warrant?), and of course are providing iCloud backups to LE in case of a warrant.
