Maybe they want to turn iCloud fully e2e, so cannot actually scan anymore on their servers.

They have to scan for CSAM by US law.

Could someone point to the relevant statute/regulation?

As far as I'm aware, there is none, though the EARN IT act that passed the Senate last year would have brought us closer by opening a company to liability if they provide E2E encryption without a mechanism for CSAM detection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EARN_IT_Act_of_2020

They don’t have to scan by US law. They only have to report detections, so if you have a content moderation team, they must report.

The EU and UK are in the process of passing laws requiring scanning.
