    According to this article, it seems they want to sell it directly to chat applications. "There's a company called Thorn that is lobbying for the scanning contract and would love to get a government mandate for its software to be installed into your chat clients," he said. Apparently Apple didn't want to pay and developed their own in-house, only to scrap it after complaints from the public. https://www.theregister.com/2022/10/13/clientside_scanning_csam_anderson/ https://www.theregister.com/2022/10/13/clientside_scanning_c...
