Considering that Chinese iPhone users already do not enjoy the same privacy features as non-Chinese iPhone users, I would not be at all surprised if Chinese iPhones are going to have a lot more "child porn" hashes to check against.

All data in China is already stored on servers that the CCCP has access to. Why would they need to invoke a convoluted hash match scheme when they can just perform broad checks on the data they can access?

Yep. Good point.

But this will further open possibilities for abuse not only in China but everywhere else as well.
