I'm more concerned with the fact that framing someone for real CSAM is nearly the perfect crime.
Contract killers have to be up close and personal in meatspace and leave an actual homicide investigation in their wake.
Someone half way around the world could be contracted to spearfish you, take over your phone/laptop then cause it to download actual CSAM.
The first thing you'd know about it is when you were arrested, and then I don't think there's any kind of defense. If the hackers were very sloppy you might be able to hire a very talent forensics team to find traces of the attack. But beyond that you're pretty screwed and nobody will ever believe you.
It is a button that someone (without any morals and willing to take a certain degree of risk) can push to ruin your life remotely, leaving virtually no trace, and allowing virtually no defense. Nobody is ever going to believe a pedophile claiming that they got hacked.
And the intersection of this with politics and national intelligence agencies (who certainly have the skill and lack the morals) is probably a bit disconcerting in the larger stage.
