This is spin by Apple, driven by ignorance or deliberately misleading statements. NCMEC's database contains images that are not CSAM, not illegal and are not even borderline (grey area).
The fact there is a match in NCMEC's database does not mean the content is CSAM. It does not even mean it's illegal. In fact, it doesn't even mean there's a single person in the picture frame.
And no, this is not theoretical. NCMEC's database is this much of a mess today.
In fact, given there's a threshold at all I'm pushed into believing that Apple know the database is faulty.

A quick search doesn't show anything obvious. > This is spin by Apple, driven by ignorance or deliberately misleading statements. The claim was that Apple got access to all the pictures on the phone which isn't correct according to their technical summary. Nothing to do with the validity of NCMEC hashes.
- ziml77 5y agoI think the problem is that no one will ever be able to validate what's in that database. "I need to see that database so I can ensure that it's all CP" isn't going to go over well.
