    Client-Side-Scanning is going to be implemented by the messaging app vendor. This means that it's limited by OS or Browser sandboxing . Therefore it's definitely limited to what the messaging app has access to. However, I'm not sure what the actual scope would be, meaning if all accessible images are going to be scanned or only the one being transmitted to someone.

      What stops you from using a free software client that verifiably doesn't do so? The mainstream messengers were not safe already anyway.
