No, you're not a dinosaur. It is entirely reasonable for a hosting provider not to want certain content on their servers. And it is also quite reasonable to want to automate the process of scanning for it.
My physical device, on the other hand, is (supposed to be) mine and mine alone.

The data is only scanned when you attempt to upload it to the cloud in either case.
Apple scans the data on device before it is sent. Google scans it on it's own servers after it is sent.
That precedent was set many years ago.
>a man [was] arrested on child pornography charges, after Google tipped off authorities about illegal images found in the Houston suspect’s Gmail account.
Microsoft’s “PhotoDNA” technology is all about making it so that these specific types of illegal images can be automatically identified by computer programs, not people.
PhotoDNA converts an image into a common black-and-white format and size the image to a uniform size, Microsoft explained last year while announcing its increased efforts at collaborating with Google to combat online child abuse.
