But that's the big difference, cloud providers are scanning the data they hold on their device. Your iphone is not Apple's device. Cloud providers have a liability if they knowingly store illegal content, the data is stored on their property, Apple does not, it is your property. It's like if Ford was going to scan what you store in the trunk of your car.

The headline is misleading. The rumored change only impacts photos your device is uploading to iCloud, and it seems like Apple servers are a necessary part of the protocol.

Doesn't apple upload all your photos to icloud by default?

It’s been a long time since I’ve set up my phone, so I don’t remember the defaults. If I recall correctly, photo stream (last ~100? photos) was on by default but not the entire photo library.

"Your iphone is not Apple's device". Well, is it not ? When you "jailbreak" it, who has the key of the cage ? How many network exchange does your phone with Apple do every day, every hour, every second ?

Oh, the irony. Apple users will finally demand that their phone be "their" device and won't say that they are perfectly happy with Apple making decisions for them because they absolutely trust Apple
