This sort of argument is just bizarre to me.

If you think Apple is on a slippery slope and will just expand this feature without any consideration then why have an issue now ?

Apple already has your unencrypted photos. They could scan it server-side. Or they scan it on your device and simply not tell you. And they can push OS updates without you knowing to enable all of this.

Apple could even push CSAM to your phone and frame you if they wanted to. They control ALL of the keys to your device whilst you are using iCloud and allowing software updates.

… yes. And it will take less than 2 years for the world to push new entires, as had happened for the last 10y.

They will be forced to detect rafts of totally unrelated content, ranging from king photos in Thailand to Winnie the Pooh in China. This is going to happen.

You need to put away your “protect the children” pearls and realize wtf game they are playing here. It’s always about protecting the children, and folks fall for it every time.
