When I saw that - 20.3 million reports - I was like... hold on. Apple's smaller reported numbers are probably almost completely accurate, whereas that 20 million number is almost guaranteed to be mostly wrong.
Who really made the mistake? The one reporting cases that are almost definitely true? Or the one reporting so many false cases that authorities are buried in false reports?

- fistynuts 5y agoListen to the story of any former Facebook content filtering employee and you would not be surprised by that figure. They have horrific jobs that leave them with PTSD and drive some to suicide. Also it's worth mentioning that 20 million flagged images does not mean 20 million unique offenders.
- michaelmrose 5y agoFor any population you test wherein the true positive rate is very low even a very low false positive rate will produce overwhelmingly false positives. Also you could trivially have 1 bad guy with thousands of photos being accounted as 5,000 reports instead of 1 report listing 5000 images.
