Is Apple still going ahead with this plan? Even after all the backlash? Can rooted iphones stop the image scanning process?

I didn't see any real backtracking from them. Last time I checked, they tried to downplay the impact of their new measures on privacy.

So apparently, there is currently CalyxOs that works with Pixel phones and Pop!_OS. Pop!_OS is an alternative to Windows or macOS. I believe that Microsoft does the same thing with its telemetry services.
