Whatever new spin Apple try to add to the original gaffe the fact still remains that they are opening the door on everyone's iPhone to some kind of scanning. That in itself is the problem, not whatever form that scanning may take. From this point onwards iPhone users have to trust Apple that it won't, for example, do secret deals with China to extend the reach of this scanning. Data scanned at source on-device is a much bigger issue than data scanned when saved in the cloud. The difference is night and day.
