Fundamentally, I think this along with encrypting iCloud backups is strictly a win for customer privacy. This set of data is subject to scanning seconds later already. However, charging someone simply because these hashes detected illicit material is a scary reality. Everyone's heard about SWATting... get ready for CSAMming. I don't even know where to begin with services like Pegasus that rootkit a phone floating around. Got a major business deal a rival is about to close... CSAM their negotiators and win the contract. I'm sure there are variations that wipe themselves without a trace after delivering their payloads.
