It’s since been backtracked as cited from another article. I was unaware as I don’t use Apple products and only heard about the plans when they were originally announced. I will update my original comment to reflect the feature being backtracked
Australia’s Basic Online Safety Expectations made it required by law:
“If the service uses encryption, the provider of the service will
take reasonable steps to develop and implement processes to detect and address material
or activity on the service that is or may be unlawful or harmful”
Righ, just like how three letter agencies definitely don’t have zero-day exploits into your devices (until they remeber about that one they definitely did put in)
Apple literally scans your photo galleries for illegal photos.
Edit, looking into things, it seems like they might have backtracked on this one due to backlash when it was announced.

“Service” sounds more like something such as iCloud than my personal, on-device photo library to me.
But only local, look into the source code yourself, heh.
You forget to add /s
If you need an /S here, you deserve the troll.

My comment was sarcasm
You really think they need that feature to get to your data
I can totally tell tone of voice an intention through text /s
One of many methods.
Don’t be an asshole.
