> I read every paper carefully, and this was very innovative system to protect your privacy IF we compare to existing CSAM solutions I did the same and I agree with you with one small caveat. For someone like me, who does not use iCloud or any other cloud service, on device scanning seriously compromises my privacy. I want to be clear that I am not doing anything that is currently illegal in my home country, but that could change under a more oppressive government. I know my opinions would definitely get me in trouble in some countries if I happened to live there. > Of course the best option is to not scan at all, but that is not really option. Why isn't it an option? I know of no legal requirement anywhere that mandates Apple has to scan fro CSAM.

I know my opinions would definitely get me in trouble in some countries if I happened to live there. At least in the current solution scanning was integrated part of the iCloud sync pipeline, and therefore this would not have affected you. > Why isn't it an option? I know of no legal requirement anywhere that mandates Apple has to scan fro CSAM. Apple is too big and they try to foresee politicians behavior. With "good will" solutions they can adjust the way how they scan or implement this. With regulation it would be more specific and might even restrict encryption in some cases totally. This is quite difficult topic at Apple's scale and I don't know if anybody really knows what exactly is already required and why
