My biggest worry about Apple crossing the Rubicon with client-side searches is all the other vendors that inevitably copy Apple innovations, but poorly. Even if Apple can keep their promises, others won't. Imagine a home (and car) full of devices searching for crimes. #privacy
I wrote about the longer-term implications of Apple's client-side scanning, in particular that other vendors will follow Apple's lead and do it poorly.
The hard part is getting customers to accept client-side scanning to begin with. With that out of the way, expanding it later is easy. https://puri.sm/posts/internet-of-snitches/
