Except the list of hashes is a black box. Today it's child porn, tomorrow it's anti-government or something similar. It's a slippery slope that's only going in one direction.
As implemented, I agree with Apple
That's the point. It's not an open to the public list, it's secret and controlled by few. It can contain whatever they want it to contain.

That's absurdly naive.
Also, I'm willing to sacrifice a tiny bit of privacy to stop child porn collections.
The hashes are then sent out to for comparison to the hash table.
Right now they are only comparing to the CSAM table but they can add other later.
Also, how are the hashes sent? Can they be intercepted?
If the Apple reviewer looks at the images that were flagged and doesn’t see CSAM, they don’t report it.
