I appreciate that Apple is trying to find technical means to reduce child porn. That's a more important problem to solve than optimizing ad click rates. But my concern is that once the tools for local image scanning exist, Apple will come under pressure from authoritarian regimes like China, Australia, and Saudi Arabia to also search for images associated with lesser crimes or even just criticism of the government. It's tough for a company to refuse. Either comply with the orders, or risk having your business shut down and your local employees punished.
