Apple explains why it abandoned iPhone CSAM detection: https://ianbetteridge.micro.blog/2023/09/01/apple-explains-why.html
nostr:npub1yyx7sllvsrr0fauh2rdlqk5rakf3963g9xk4a7j5uhfcs00lr3kq42qa5g Apple have opened a Pandora’s box here. Until now technologists have been telling govements that you either have E2EE, which cannot be scanned, or you have insecure systems; there is no in between. Governments will surely now seize upon this as proof that it can be done.

If I switched it to a German account (an ordeal in itself due to the many subscriptions I’d have to cancel including, worryingly, iCloud+) I’d lose a lot of UK only content purchased over the years. Being unable to download certain apps that would make my life easier in Germany is the price I occasionally have to pay.
