Sure, but the people sharing these images do so in organized groups, often referred to as "rings". I agree it would be very hard to catch a solitary perpetrator abusing children and not sharing the images. However since they would be creating novel images with new hashes, Apple's system wouldn't do much to help catch them would it?
- loves_mangoes 5y agoLet me respond to the "novel images with new hashes" part. Apple's system doesn't use only cryptographic hashes, it seems designed to catch novel images too. There is concern that it will be inaccurate and have a much higher rate of false positive than the 1 in a trillion reported by Apple (as described in the, very thorough, article).
