The articles I've read say:

_Hashes_ of photos will be scanned for _known_ abusive material, client side.

So the only thing Apple can find out about you is if you have some of these known and catalogued images. They will definitely not know if you have other nude photos, including of your children.

The other, separate feature is a parental control feature. You as a parent can be told if your children send or receive nude photos. This obviously sacrifices some of their privacy, but that is what parenting is. It's not more intrusive than screentime, or any number of things you might do as a parent to make sure your children are safe..



These are not cryptographic hashes you are thinking of but perceptual hashes for which collisions are much easier to find.
