E2E encryption of iCloud data is completely useless if it also comes with a feature to selectively upload some of that data unencrypted for snooping purposes. Even ignoring the issue that child porn will turn into child porn or terrorism or the cause du jour, the imperfect nature of the scanning includes a review process. This is more like Youtube content id than it is like an md5sum of known CSAM files. That's the violation.
Another article recently points out that even the md5sum databases include bad matches (a rhesus monkey was mentioned).
