It's only a matter of time before Google starts doing the same thing. I can't imagine Google wont do it eventually.

I don't think they will. They already scan it all in the cloud, and the benefit of doing it on device is for user privacy, that's not something google gives a shit about.

All it takes is "Pedophiles are using Android to share images with one another in person by disabling uploading images to the cloud" or something like that to be a headline and the pressure will be on to follow Apple's direction.
