The CSAM scanning is still troubling because it implies your own device is running software against your own self-interest. If Apple wanted to get out of legal trouble by not hosting illegal content but still make sure iOS is working in the best legal interest of the phone's user, they'd prevent the upload of the tagged pictures and notify that they refuse to host these particular files. Right now, it seems like the phone will actively be snitching on its owner. I somehow don't have the same problem with them running the scan on their servers since it's machines they own but having the owner's own property work against them sets a bad precedent.
