    To me, this seems like such a transparent attempt to force the tech companies to have a backdoor. If they can scan for CSAM, they can scan (or copy) anything else the government wants.

And it’s clear that this would do nothing to stop it either, because then abusers just wouldn’t use compromised services from big companies.
