Because you can't verify a hash as you can a photo. Otherwise I could hash and submit the Disney logo.

  You could rely on hashes if the downed images were themselves analysed for nude content. Given the state of AI/ML, this is fairly tractable (and has been for a decade with reasonable levels of accuracy). Persons found abusing the reporting system could have their own trust revoked -- their hashes would be considered noncredible absent independent verification. Similar standards apply, e.g., in witness testimony ("impeaching a witness").

    Humans already are tasked on a large scale with manually verifying reports for user-submitted content: https://www.theverge.com/2016/4/13/11387934/internet-moderator-history-youtube-facebook-reddit-censorship-free-speech https://www.theverge.com/2016/4/13/11387934/internet-moderat... > When Dave Willner arrived at Facebook in 2008, the team there was working on its own "one-pager" of cursory, gut-check guidelines. "Child abuse, animal abuse, Hitler," Willner recalls. "We were told to take down anything that makes you feel bad, that makes you feel bad in your stomach." Willner had just moved to Silicon Valley to join his girlfriend, then Charlotte Carnevale, now Charlotte Willner, who had become head of Facebook’s International Support Team. Over the next six years, as Facebook grew from less than 100 million users to well over a billion, the two worked side by side, developing and implementing the company’s first formal moderation guidelines.
