CSAM Detection Technical Summary [pdf]

It is unacceptable for this process to execute on my devices. I am very glad I own zero Apple products, and this has solidified my resolve to never change that.

I'll be watching for proliferation of this technique in other devices, and will promptly trash any that implement it. (I already avoid uploading unencrypted content to cloud services.)

In this imperfect world, privacy keeps innocent people free. Long live AES-256.

Are you so sure this isn't already happening on other services you use?

I believe it is happening, which is why I do not upload any unencrypted content to those services.

In which case, this new change wouldn't affect you anyway, because it only applies to photos uploaded to iCloud.

can you explain why? if you upload a file selectively, where is the issue if its hash is compared to a CSAM database?

You can't check what's in the database. Someone could extend it to other things.

Isn't this far fetched? There is few things I can think of that would get you into legal trouble but are morally acceptable. Like whistleblowing

You might be safe now in relatively okay Western countries. Consider the possibility of places like China using these features, or just future Western governments which are worse.

I'm sure this is happening on all other cloud photo services already.
