Apple declined to comment on the NSPCC's accusation, instead
pointing  The Guardian to a statement it made when it shelved
the  CSAM scanning  plan.  Apple said it opted for a different
strategy  that “prioritizes  the security and privacy of [its]
users.” The  company told Wired in  August 2022 that "children
can be protected  without companies combing  through personal
data."

Privacy for everyone is important.

 Sorry, I can't agree with that.  Some people give up their right to
privacy when they harm others or society.  The laws are there for
everyone, not just those who choose to follow them.

He said it poorly, but "privacy for everyone" IS important in that when you create a system that purports only to take privacy away from the bad actors, you are really taking it away from everyone.
