Those are in contradiction a client side process is inspectable.

This is disingenuous and you know it.

As you know, there is a server-side element, the crypto mumbo jumbo makes it impossible to audit which images will trigger the automated snitching mechanism from the secret list of hashes. So it is both a secret process and doing scanning client-side.

Also Apple is busily suing companies who dare to make client-side inspection feasible, as I noted.
