The practice of "Steelman"ing is presenting the strongest possible argument. So please answer me this question.

The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution reads:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Before you take step 4 above, please explain to me how you established probable cause for each and every scan that takes place. Both those scans that were positive and found CSAM, and those that were negative and found nothing.
In the US, there is a long history of Dragnets being deemed unconstitutional.
--
And I personally understand that this Amendment protects us from actions by the US Government. Not Apple. But here Apple is conducting the scans and forwarding the results onto the Government for the purposes of law enforcement.
In my personal opinion, when apple began these scans, they effectively became an agent of the state.
--
In any event, I am glad the scans have stopped.
