Turns out they were, as is industry practice. And their right, as owners of the servers hosting the content.

I really hope it gets dropped too. It accelerated a contingency plan of mine where I take the safe assumption that all closed software is actually a cop.

iCloud mail servers: https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/23/apple-scans-icloud-mail-for-c...

They claim to not scan photos in iCloud. But they could turn this on today, and folks would have less concerns than the on-device scanning.
