Regarding the implementation in the EU, in my understanding, the 
scanning is baked in on an OS level with pattern recognition, and the 
forwarding to law enforcement agencies happens fully automated (so only 
the more obscure OSs, with dev communities instead of single legal 
entities behind them, may remain free). 'Client-side' in that sense of 
course means your transfer encryption, e.g. PGP, remains intact; your 
privacy nevertheless won't.

Btw, I just cannot imagine much CSAM being distributed via email, but 
who knows.
