I don't care. It's my device (at least that's how Apple used to advertise it) and I disagree with Apple's policy, full stop. I don't care about "think of the children" (especially since they will be scanning pictures of my own children), and furthermore I don't trust Apple not to change the policy in the future. They've created a backdoor and now the device is compromised and privacy is broken. If you want to trust Apple go ahead. They have eroded my trust and I doubt they could regain it within a decade.

If anything, you should be outraged that Google and Microsoft have been scanning much more of your data, and doing so in a much more intrusive way.
Apple only scans iCloud Photos and they do so in a way that they can't see the results until they can be reasonably sure it's not just a false positive.

You have clearly misunderstood my position as you have replied to 2 of my comments already. You seem to have an "Apple vs the world" mentality when my point is entirely about holding Apple accountable to their own marketing. You sound like a bizarre Apple apologist and I'm tired of trying to explain myself to you when all you want to do is explain to me why Apple is better than everybody when I do not care and also fundamentally disagree.
If you think Apple's approach is the best you're allowed to think that. I disagree.
