It isn't necessary to believe in a slippery slope to be very alarmed at this.
Their 1-in-a-trillion estimate of false positives is very likely total horseshit (there was a recent article on dissecting that claim from someone familiar with CSAM).
It also opens up a "swatting" avenue where if someone hacks your phone they can upload CSAM images and apple will sicthe authorities on you. Good luck with that.
Really we need to bring back comp.risks and start training ourselves to think a bit more cynically about the downsides of technology.
