Apple said in their paper that they don't send anything that is flagged. When the cloud sync occurs the files that are flagged get reviewed. All other files remain encrypted.

If you sort NCMEC's list of reporting providers by the number of submissions in 2020, then I come in at #40 out of 168. For 2019, I'm #31 out of 148
I repeatedly begged NCMEC for a hash set so I could try to automate detection. Eventually (about a year later) they provided me with about 20,000 MD5 hashes that match known CP. In addition, I had about 3 million SHA1 and MD5 hashes from other law enforcement sources.

This is literally addressed in the article you pretend you read.

I don't have access to this article. How does it show that people working with CSAM say Apple's implementation is a good idea?
