That’s absolutely not an accurate representation of what I’ve said, or how this system works. All it requires is somebody to send somebody else a colliding image. This will send an event to Apple. There is nothing imaginary about that, it is exactly how the system works. Now that Apple has this information, the only thing left is for it to be leaked or compromised in some way. This is much simpler than the scenario you’ve described, because they require the attacker to first commit the crime of possessing CP. Its also possible to do without tipping off the victim in any way. Apple, in case you didn’t know, is a company that had already been the source of a couple of the most notorious data breaches ever (and has somehow managed to so far avoid getting “sued for vast quantities of money” for them). What you’re trying to do here is quintessential gaslighting.
