Apple implemented client-side scanning and then had to roll back. Google is doing it by shifting the baseline. I'm sure Microsoft are working on a rollout too.
Why? Why are these companies so keen on the technology?
Because they are effectively (I am prepared to argue literally) states and their users are their citizens and all states like to monitor and control their citizens as much as they can get away with.
