While I don’t have any inside knowledge at all, I would expect a company as big as Apple to be able to ask law enforcement to run Apple’s algorithm on data sets Apple themselves don’t have access to and report the result.

No idea if they did (or will), but I do expect it’s possible.

Sounds like that's what they did since they say they're matching against hashes provided by NCMEC generated from their 200k CSAM corpus.

[edit: Ah, in the PDF someone else linked, "First, Apple receives the NeuralHashes corresponding to known CSAM from the above child-safety organizations."]
