That isn't an offer of legal protections or guarantees that the trustworthiness and accuracy of their methods can be verified in court. It really doesn't matte

That isn't an offer of legal protections or guarantees that the trustworthiness and accuracy of their methods can be verified in court.
It really doesn't matter how they do it now that we know that iOS has vulnerabilities that allow remote monitoring and control of someone's device to the extent that it created a market for at least one espionage tool that has lead to the deaths of innocent people.
I remember when the popular way to shut down small forums, business competitors, or get embarrassing information taken off the web was to anonymously upload CP to it and then report it, repeatedly. With this, what's to stop virtual "SWATing" of Apple customers? Not necessarily just those whose Apple products have been compromised, whose iClouds have been compromised, or who are the victims of hash collisions (see any group of non-CSAM images that CSAM detection flags).
Will Apple analyze all hardware to ensure no innocent person is framed because of an undisclosed vulnerability? What checks are being offered on this notoriously burdensome process on the accused?
>If you think that Apple creates malicious iOS updates targeting specific people, then you have more to worry about than this new feature
Oof. Good point.
