Do they actually know how the technology works? They will have to scan everything inbound and outbound connections, basically managed devices.
Apple and Google have been given a three-month ultimatum to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images on their smartphones, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday.
How is it different you have absolutely no idea how this will be implemented. Currently IOS and Android default to cloud storage and we know how many users stray away from the defaults. Both devices already check your photos against the CSAM database and scan your local photos so you can search via tags like “cat” and it shows all cat photos. Who knows, it may be local AI and completely private.
I do agree that most people probably don’t change the defaults, but I believe that apple stopped the scan for CSAM years ago on iCloud.

Also you forgot to account for apps like Signal which store the photos encrypted in their own database.
This is not as simple as scanned photos, currently apple for example can do this locally on their own apps. The problem is apps like signal.
Strictly by the description it should include websites too, and would have to be extremely low level to prevent viewing.
Also Nintendo should probably be concerned at how widely the law is written for the DS
