Not sure I'm going to go all in on unqualified support, but it seems like comparing an image to a series of known hashes is qualitatively somewhat different than the postal inspector open all your mail. Though those convenient little scans they'll send you if your mail if you sign up suggests they do have some interest in who sends you mail already.
- upbeat_general 5y agoA closer comparison would be a machine opening your mail, scanning the contents, then using the same perceptual “hash” with an unknown database of “hashes” If whoever controls that database wants to prohibit say a meme making fun of a politician, they need only to add the picture to the DB.
