So I understand the hashes come from a database run by a government? So then that government can easily slip any other hash into the same database depending on what they are looking for.

This is building in that back door that was requested some years ago.

I agree that this is a kind of backdoor and am against it for that reason. However, my understanding is that the hash database is NOT from a government or government agency. It is from a special non-profit set up to fight child abuse. 

NCMEC is funded with private and government funds.

From Wikipedia:
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is a private, nonprofit organization established in 1984 by the United States Congress. In September 2013, the United States House of Representatives, United States Senate, and the President of the United States reauthorized the allocation of $40 million in funding for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children as part of Missing Children's Assistance Reauthorization Act of 2013

So if some political foe wants to destroy me, all they need to do is hack my phone, deposit a collection of CSAM, and the cops will do the rest.  How convenient.

Actually, anyone with physical access to your locked iPhone for a minute can add images to your Photos upload queue if it's enabled.

Why does the reviewer list items that are not supposed to be installed as "Cons"?
My Tesla doesn't have a catalytic converter, is that a "Con"?

One other problem I have is that anyone that has access to my iPhone can snap pictures of whatever without unlocking it.  I use iCloud so as not to fill up my phone with images, so those pictures taken will then be uploaded to the cloud.
Why won't Apple offer an option  to disable the camera when locked?

Finally a good reason for MagSafe!
