They'd get sued whether they do it or not really. If they don't they get sued by those that want privacy invasive scanning. If they do, they're gonna get sued when they inevitably end up landing someone in hot water because they took pictures of their naked child for the doctors.

Protecting children is important but can't come at the cost of violating everyone's privacy and making you guilty unless proven innocent.

Meanwhile, children just keep getting shot at school and nobody wants to do anything about it, but oh no, we can't do anything about that because muh gun rights.

If people really care about protecting the children, we can always raise taxes on the wealthy/cut military spending to fund new task forces to combat the production and spread of child pornography!

Heck, the money spent on this lawsuit could be spent catching people producing CSAM instead.
