Isn't this covered by the 4th Amendment? The fact that Apple is doing it and not US.GOV is irrelevant, because the explicit intent is to check for content-deemed-illegal on a personal device and Apple is clearly just a cutout. Worse - unless the "perceptual hash" tech is better than anyone suspects, most of the images flagged will be personal images of consenting adults. So Apple - and possibly US.GOV - ends up with a huge collection of intimate photos of many of its users. Plus everyone's porn stash. I'm finding it very hard to understand why no one at Apple realised this would be a PR disaster.
