Do we know that they are using perceptual hashing? I am curious about the details of the hash database they are comparing against, but I assumed perceptual hashing would be pretty fraught with edge cases and false positives.

They are calling it "NeuralHash" -- https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/05/apple-icloud-photos-scanning/ https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/05/apple-icloud-photos-scanni...
