There isn’t a law that requires them to proactively scan photos. That is why they could turn the feature back off.

A law by the government requiring proactive scanning of photos would in fact make the whole situation worse in the US because there would need to be a warrant if the government is requiring the scan. As long as it's voluntary by the company and not coerced by the government, they can proactively scan.
