Apple's child protection features spark concern within its own ranks: sources

I don't get why they would get all of the images taken that day if the flagged image doesn't actually contain any abuse material.

This might not be true, but I've always assumed that if I am suspected of something the police can already access all my iCloud (or any other cloud storage) images with court order.

Yes, they'd get access to every photo you've ever taken if you suffer a hash collision.

What court order?

Apple spots the hash collision, snitches on you, and then police get all your photos. Isn't that how this is supposed to work?

Has it been confirmed that police get your all of your media in case of a collision and not just the offending image? Do they even get the offending image?

I'd be willing to bet they get the entire archive if there's an offending image.
