No, I'm relaying the fact that scanning does happen, and has been happening for the past decade.
>The system that scans cloud drives for illegal images was created by Microsoft and Dartmouth College and donated to NCMEC. The organization creates signatures of the worst known images of child pornography, approximately 16,000 files at present. These file signatures are given to service providers who then try to match them to user files in order to prevent further distribution of the images themselves, a Microsoft spokesperson told NBC News. (Microsoft implemented image-matching technology in its own services, such as Bing and SkyDrive.)

Apple refused to implement this until they found a more private method to handle things.
Only photos you upload to iCloud are scanned and nothing happens unless multiple images match known examples of kiddie porn. In that case, a human review is triggered to make sure you didn't just have several false positives at once.
Why are you asking if the poster still beats their wife?
(More specifically, you're pre-supposing scanning must happen, which by itself is a highly debatable assertion)
Your point with Google is absolutely sound, but you seem to stop short of actually accepting that actual privacy (no peeking damnit) is dead on arrival. This is a case of rhetorical stealth goalpost moving whether you intended that or not.
