Is this true? The message triggers try to identify nudity within the accounts of minors. Is the notification only going to the parent? Is it stored for possible later use? Are those photos ever reviewed?

Excellent point. The messaging triggers for nudity in child accounts would imply that there is a separate, on-device scanning capability that has nothing to do with hash matching. Taken together with the backdoor for data exfiltration, and considering these come in the same announcement, there's no reason not to consider them part of the same spyware framework.
