WhatsApp for example automatically stores images you receive in your Photos library, so that removes a step, and those will thus be automatically uploaded to iCloud.
The one failsafe would be Apple's manual reviewers, but we haven't heard much about that process yet.

iMessage photos received are automatically synced so no. Finding 30 photos take zero time at all on Tor. Hell finding a .onion site that doesn't have CP randomly spammed is harder.....

iMessage photos do not automatically add photos to your photo library. Yes they’re synced between devices but afaik Apple isn’t deploying this hashing technology on iMessages between devices. Only for iCloud photos in the photo library.
What do you mean “just”? That’s not usually very simple. It needs to go into the actual photo library. Also, you need like 30 of them inserted.

Yes, but it’s not much different from now, since most cloud photo providers scan for this cloud-side. So that’s more an argument against scanning all together.
