This is not true. They may match the hash, but the will not match the visual derivative.
The system is not as easily fooled as you think.

- LucidLynx 5y agoI tend to disagree here... Based on the documentation from Apple, they are waiting to get *several* matches, *not only one* (we don't know what is *several* but I don't expect something like <= 3 pictures). Once the rate has been reached, they ask to a physical team to review the "positive matches", and deliberate if, yes or no, the images are CSAM or not. If yes, after the manual process, the authorities are called.
- threatofrain 5y agoHypothetically, what happens if a viral event should persuade people to mass upload these images? Would Apple ad hoc modify their review protocol?
- jareklupinski 5y agoyou mean like how people got so fed up with ToS-mandated arbitration that they all decided to file motions simultaneously it worked that time...
- zepto 5y agoNothing because these files won’t trigger a match.
- yuppie_scum 5y agoThe consequence is that someone at Apple reviews the case, notices that its a false positive, and closes the case.
- post_break 5y agoWe've learned from YouTube how well matching content works well. Apple will be better right? Right?
- zepto 5y agoYes. We know that it is based on the papers explaining how it works.
