> This claim seems actually quite irrefutable. I don't think so. Apple transfers the images to iCloud, yes, but before the threshold of flagged photos is reached, Apple doesn't know that there might be CSAM material among them. When the threshold is exceeded and Apple learns about the potential of CSAM, the images have been transferred already. But then Apple does not transfer them any further, and has a human review not the images themselves, but a "visual derivative" that was in a secure envelope (that can by construction only be unlocked once the threshold is exceeded).
