I love how when you "buy" a phone from Apple, they still consider it "theirs", as they frequently use the term "our platform" and "our systems".

FWIW, I had assumed iCloud Photo Library images were already scanned since they are stored on Apple’s servers and are accessible to law enforcement with a warrant, as are iCloud backups. Apparently this was not the case. The only way for your data to be safe from authorities’ surveillance on iOS is to exclusively back up to iTunes on a local PC or Mac, and not use iCloud.
