All watchers of Clara Morgan were watching what is legally categorized as “child porn” (=“any depiction of an individual under 18).

And since “depiction” includes drawing, any consumer of Hentai (s. manga) is hosting what passes legally as clear child porn.

I wouldn’t be surprised if 25% of the youth could be taken to jail according to the law, so, definitely, a learning period or warnings are required.

It’s akin to all the US adults who are registered as sex offenders because they peed in a park at night. Apple is clearly help with law abuse here.

That may be true in principle, but irrelevant with respect to Apple's CSAM process. Unless the exact material is explicitly catalogued by NCMEC or another child safety organisation, there won't be a hash match.

This isn't a porn detector strapped to a child detector.

Do you have a source for a single person being required to register as a sex offender for peeing in public?
Peeing in public is often charged as indecent exposure, which can have you forced to register as a sex offender. [0][1]

It doesn't take long to find those cases.
