There are a lot problems with Apple scanning for child abuse pictures, but one of the first ones that come to mind is: what are they going to do if they find them? I doubt they'll warn the authorities because, given that those pics/videos were obtained through an illegal search of a private property, no judge will accept them as valid evidence in a court case. So, again, what they'll do with it? Will they ban those users from using their services and lose customers?
And let's not forget about the cases where the algorithm may take a picture/vid for something it isn't.
It's not just the violation of your privacy that is a problem, but also what will Apple do with this information.
