Hard to tell where exactly this falls between the extremes of "a few images being shared widely and reported many times" and "20M unique instances of abuse". Obviously it's neither of those, and there is a subset of images that account for many reports, but is there a long tail of unique instances? I don't feel like I have a good handle on what the scope of the problem is from the numbers and descriptions given in teh article.
