Here's one without a paywall. https://www.npr.org/2021/08/06/1025402725/apple-iphone-for-child-sexual-abus... Not sure what the paywall'd one says, but this one focuses on child pornography, which makes it harder to argue for a public system. Other corps are doing this. Free software generally does not. The detection algorithm is transported in the form of a pretrained computer vision model, which opens other concerns too, of course, via its generality and obscurity.
