Their implementations are not on-device and thus it's actually significantly more difficult to reverse engineer. Apples unique implementation of on-device scanning is much easier to reverse engineer and thus exploit. Now apple is in this crappy situation where they can't claim their software is secure because it's open source and auditable, but they also can't claim it's secure because it's closed source and they fixed the problems in some later version because this entire debacle has likely destroyed all faith in their competence. If apple is in the position of having to boast "Trust us bro, your iPhone won't be exploited to get you SWATTED over CSAM anymore, we patched it" the big question is why is apple voluntarily adding something to their devices where the failure mode is violent imprisonment and severe loss of reputation when they are not completely competent? This entire debacle reminds me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVq1wgIN62E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVq1wgIN62E
