They say all reports will be manually reviewed, so the blog post, while painting a scary picture, doesn't really paint a picture that matches the reality of how this works - ie automated systems flagging up with no human intervention. I know the blogger tries to illustrate how human intervention isn't enough, but in this case we're talking about a human just comparing an image with another image, not a hypothetical lazy legal department "playing it safe" instead of doing due diligence.
