First off, I don’t think this is some evil plan to kill our privacy. I think this project is done with good intentions, if nothing else. However I think this is an interesting question: how does Apple know that the hashes they’re supplied match CSAM, and not, say, anti-government material? How would they know if the people they got hashes from started supplying anti-government hashes? Apple will only be receiving the hashes here - by design, even they won’t have access to the underlying content to verify what the hashes are for.
