Apple says:

If we gave every single human being an iPhone we'd expect an incorrect flag every 160 years or so.
- dont__panic 5y agoIn all fairness, we've all seen marketing twist developer words many, many times. "less than one in one trillion" sounds like a very neat, nice number that somebody decided to fixate on.

The horrible thing is, of course, that this whole process will probably be automated and there'll be no recourse to a human with any power to work things out properly. If there are thousands of cases, they'll have to take to Twitter to shine some light on it. Except that in this case they're self-identlfying as suspected child abusers. How many people are going to risk the negatives that go with that? Will we ever find out how many people were actually false positives?
