Don't move the goal posts. On-device scanning has a qualitatively different privacy impact from scanning photos inside cloud storage.

- kaba0 5y agoWhat about on-device scanning just before syncing it up to the server?
- mvanbaak 5y agoWhy do people prefer the scanning on the cloud storage? That means it will never be encrypted and stored unencrypted on HDD's in someone else's computer. 'scan -> encrypt -> upload' is in my opinion better than 'upload -> scan'
- Deathmax 5y agoWhich would justify Apple using on-device scanning more if iCloud is end-to-end encrypted, except that it isn't. Apple has the technical capability to decrypt photos stored on iCloud, so why risk the slippery slope and governments applying pressure to expand local scanning to more than just what is going to be uploaded.
