It allows processing data without decrypting it, which is great in terms of preventing someone else from snooping on it, but doesn’t change that Apple is retaining the ability to analyze the data content, which is the actual issue here.
Reading between the lines, I guarantee they’re doing the same thing for CSAM protection. I think sex offenders caused this to happen, I believe they found out that they were using photos to host that horrid stuff, and apple can’t just ignore it, so I think we have them to thank
I would be interested to see what lines you read between, because “identifying landmarks and points of interest” doesn’t sound like anything capable of identifying CSAM. I think you’re giving a big corporation a bunch of credit there is no reason to suspect it is owed, for an excuse they never professed.
Apple killed it’s last version in August 2023 because it didn’t respect privacy. Where there’s object detection there’s csam detection. Which hey I think is good, and I wouldn’t expect an announcement about it. I just see how they did this, and this is exactly how I’d roll out a privacy focused csam detector if I was going to do it

From August 2023, they killed the non privacy focused one: https://www.wired.com/story/apple-csam-scanning-heat-initiative-letter/
