Until now technologists have been telling govements that you either have E2EE, which cannot be scanned, or you have insecure systems; there is no in between. Governments will surely now seize upon this as proof that it can be done.

And unfortunately what the UK government is after now is pretty near the bottom of the slippery slope - I can't see our intelligence agencies not wanting, and being able, to exploit client side CSAM scanning software if it had to be installed.
And as to what it would imply in terms of police and court time and resources to actually investigate and prosecute CSAM doesn't bear thinking about.
