You're just making yourself look untrustworthy when you do something like this: either you're not capable of researching the issue, or you're lying to everyone on purpose.
FWIW, I'm not a fan of cloud services scanning the photos you pay them to host for CP, but I can see why they're doing it: it's one thing for you to keep your CP on a device they made and sold to you, it's quite another for them to be storing and distributing your CP on a computer they own. Most cloud services scan the photos after they're uploaded, so scanning them on the device before upload is an improvement in my opinion. In case it wasn't clear, all major cloud providers scan your photos for CP*, because they don't want to be hosting CP, and in many places it's illegal for them to be doing so.
