This is a great example of why its a bad idea for companies like Apple and Google to have access to your photos and filenames/hashes. If this picture is spread, the Russian government can "ask" them to apply their CSAM tech to iCloud accounts with the same filenames or checksums and report you for possessing subversive material.

Do you really think Apple would choose to play ball with them when Russia is such a toxic market with all the sanctions? Why wouldn't they tell Russia to fuck off? Same with other western tech giants.

Super valid point though outside of the politics of the situation, I appreciate your pointing it out.
