It's important to know and keep in mind that governments didn't (re)discover this topic on their own, it is being pushed massively by lobbyists: https://fortune

  > Apple wasn't required to implement any CSAM detection, so why did they do it? As things were, Apple was able to serve up peoples images when presented with a warrant. If they went to end to end encryption for photo libraries they wouldn’t be able to do that. And I can basically guarantee something would happen and there would be claims about how “Apple protects child molesters”. It’s just too juicy, and we saw the ones about Apple protecting terrorists by not unlocking phones. So I think they tried to come up with a solution. Something that would let them do end to end encryption but be able to show they’re not protecting child pornographers.

    They’ve already locked pictures behind end-to-end encryption. It’s simply not turned on by default.
