Ok, I need to ask this question:

HOW is this scanning different than what antivirus has been doing since like forever?

If you can't tell the difference between malware and your personal photos, I can't help you.

That is not the issue. AV scans files, you might be able to actually configure what kind, but the matching is done based on whatever the AV company decides is worth matching.

No one in their right mind thinks this scanning has not been abused by others.

But now that (you know) images are being scanned the world's ablaze.

It is still silly, proof me wrong.

If you can't answer a question without handwaving, I probably don't believe you even understand it.
