Scanning “private” content

Is Apple's approach even likely to catch any pedophiles? Seems to me at most it would succeed in keeping such photos from Apple devices, which is perhaps good for their public image, but does nothing to catch predators?

It is very public now that Apple will scan for such pictures, so how many pedophiles will keep them on their phones?

Or Apple is taken over by pervs who want to be able to look at private photos to "verify" them. Once algo reaches a threshold they'll be able to see "lowres" versions.
