There is a big difference, if say Apple tracking of what you run is problematic you get a bad user experience like apps starting after 1 minute of waiting, or if Apple App Store contains malware you will probably get some annoying issue while Apple will try to silently cleanup their mess BUT with this system there is a difference, this is designed not to serve you or protect you, it is designed to do some checks then if some specific rules match send some guys on you to destroy your life, today is FBI tomorrow other authoritarians. Issues in any other Apple software will not send the police on you. Why would you install a software on your desktop/laptop that is designed to snitch on you, you would need to get some advantage or be forced by some law. For now I see only disadvantages but please let me know of any real advantage and not speculation Disadvantages: - closed software with hidden db can't be trusted, so as a user you will always have a doubt that some non CP images are in the db(Apple always collaborates with governments) - bugs in this stuff will cause you big problems(we seen in the past how false accusation destroyed peoples life) and we also seen bad actors abusing this kind of stuff. - this is also clearly a beginning, now that Apple has the capability then even if they were saints a judge could force them to add new hashes, change the configs etc.
