And who audits the DB hashes? The code is the easiest part to trust.

You don't even need to sneak illegitimate hashes. Just use the next Pegasus-esque zero-day to dump a photo from the hash list on to the phone.

Yeah, but adding whatever document/meme/etc that will represent the group you hate and boom you have a way to identify operatives of a politician party.

eg. Anyone with a "Feel the Bern" marketing material -> arrest them under suspicion of CSAM. Search their device and find them as dissidents.
