> Apple states point-blank that they will refuse any demands to add non-CSAM content to the lists.
How would Apple know if non-CSAM was added to the list? Apple does not and cannot curate the list. Apple only receives hashes from NCMEC (and other unnamed government agencies). The government does not allow Apple to verify that this list only contains CSAM. This pledge from Apple is at best misguided at worst intentionally dishonest. Of course nobody can make Apple add non-CSAM to the list: Apple doesn't maintain the list.
