They already can decrypt iCloud photos, why else perform an on-device scan ? If not with the intention to scan all local contents ?

- sathackr 5y agoAnd the matching photo is uploaded upon match. So regardless the photo is uploaded. What's the point again of taking this further step?
- dwaite 5y agoThat is an EXCELLENT question, fwiw. They could have just had a local failure. I suspect there were a lot of arguments around this point - should they be making an attempt merely to prevent such content from their servers, or to detect/report behaviors which may be illegal and harmful.
