I take your point, but he's in the EU, not the US, and I wouldn't be surprised 
if EU regulators
expected their telcos to do something about CSAM sent as messages to or from 
their phones.

There are technical issues, too, like how reliable the fingerprinting is and 
what the consequences
of false positives and negatives are, but they're different from the legal 
issues.
