- It's run for Messages in cases where a child is potentially viewing material that's bad.
- It's run _before upload to iCloud Photos_ - where it would've already been scanned anyway, as they've done for years (and as all other major companies do).
To me this really doesn't seem that bad. Feels like a way to actually reach encrypted data all around while still meeting the expectations of lawmakers/regulators. Expansion of the tech would be something I'd be more concerned about, but considering the transparency of it I feel like there's some safety.
