The question and answer i’m missing is:

- samrolken 5y agoAn image being erroneously flagged will not have any effect. Until the threshold is reached, Apple is not able to know if or how many images have matched. And even then, the voucher doesn’t include the key to decrypt the photo itself. Apple has documentation that explains all of this.
- DavideNL 5y agoBut surely someone will at some point inspect the images… So my question remains the same. Do users get a notification once they are (/erroneously) flagged.
- samrolken 5y agoYes. If you read Apple’s documentation about this, the user is notified immediately when their account is disabled, and they have the opportunity to appeal the decision.
- tomjen3 5y agoI doubt it, since those photos will likely be close to porn, ie. of naked people and Apple doesn't want people to know that the naked pictures they took of their 22 year old spouse is now floating around some random office in Bangladesh.
- djrogers 5y agoThat’s not how this system works - a random nude photo is no more likely to match a hash than a photo of my pool brush.
