NSA PRISM was and illegal and warrantless text analysis and search system for most communications on the Internet, collected all communications without bothering to filter at all, and had no protections in place to prevent people from randomly searching and reading content out of human curiosity.
Apple's CSAM implementation protects the user against algorithm defects, does not expose the user to legal trouble until they have at least 30 human-verified visual matches of CSAM content, and occurs on-device using a small set of confirmed and audited signatures to ensure that CSAM scanning requires a central system only for verifying the unverified, blurred, positive matches.
I would hesitate to compare Steve Jobs' views on PRISM to his likely views on something that is so clearly opposed to it in so many ways. So I do not yet understand your viewpoint that Apple CSAM scanning and PRISM would have been treated equally by Steve. Help me understand?
