They have to scan things that are not photos. What if the bad guys just zip their photos and upload that?
There also needs to be a solution to CSAM uploaded before NCMEC had a chance to tag it, especially to cases where the bad guys uploaded their CSAM and deleted it from their iPhone. What happens then, the bad guys get E2E and nobody can find them? There has to be a technical solution in mind for this, and everything I can think of has implications (Let the iPhone store hashes of deleted images? Would it be enough to scan also during download?)
IMHO, any serious attempt to find CSAM using Apple's client-side approach requires more scanning, and Apple not being forward on that makes me trust them less. Also, the moment they expand the scanning, we should think carefully if there actually are any privacy benefits.
