If I understand correctly pictures of my naked children never match any known hashes so I should be ok (1 in a trillion ok that is? What is the expectation value for this?)? Not that I make such pictures but perhaps by accident. It’s not that I find it weird but god I’m afraid they end up beyond my control.
I don’t use iCloud (only for MS MFA backups), is this affecting me?
I self host everything, what happens when my account is suspended, does my iPhone work?
I sure hope we get to learn how effective this has been in say, a year? It’s quite something that my device is going to scan and check my pictures. I’d really like there to be a large, confirmed benefit for the children.
- diebeforei485 5y ago1 in a trillion is not particularly impressive. Aren't there a billion iPhones? And probably 10,000 pictures on each phone on average (people take lots of selfies).
- thw0rted 5y agoWell, since Talking About Statistics Is Hard, you have to look at the exact phrasing from the website: it "ensures less than a one in one trillion chance per year of incorrectly flagging a given account". So, each of those billion accounts has a 1:1T chance of false positive. If I remember my stat 101 correctly, that should translate to a 1:1000 chance of having at least 1 false positive on the planet during any given year. (And remember, even a false positive just means that a human reviews your photos, not that you get reported to the police.)
