Indiscriminate surveillance combined with an intent assumption: the system is setup to find CSAM, so it doesn't test alternate hypotheses.
There's many intervening steps[1] of consequences which can result. Not to mention chilling effects: it's a standard bit of knowledge now that all my family members worry a bit if they take a photo of my son doing something and he's not wearing a shirt or something. Because no one's entirely sure the extent or impact of whatever scanning systems already exist (hey folks: encrypt everything on the cloud, and thank god for Signal).
