Are you okay (conceptually, assuming a perfect database and hashing function) with them scanning pictures uploaded to iCloud for this material if the scanning happens on their servers? Or is this a complete "these pictures should never be scanned, regardless of where it happens" position? If the former, I personally don't feel a distinction between "a photo is scanned immediately before upload" and "a photo is scanned immediately after upload" is very meaningful. I'd be more concerned if there wasn't a clear way to opt-out. I acknowledge that there's room to disagree on this, and maybe I'm unusual in drawing my boundaries where I do. If the latter... I think that ship has sailed. Near as I can tell, all the major cloud platforms are scanning for this stuff post-upload, and Apple was a bit of an outlier in how little they were doing before this.
