The point is that if the capability for "the iCloud Photos client" to scan your photos before uploading them to the cloud exists, it's only Apple's policy that stops it from scanning all of your photos.

That capability obviously already exists independent from this CSAM-scanning system.

Yes, they were already doing facial recognition of my photos, which I didn’t ask for and can’t turn off.
