This is not accurate. Apple is using perceptual hashes. If the features of an image are close enough to an image in the NCMEC database it may generate a matching hash.
- yakkityyak 5y agoNot defending the new tech by any means, but you'd have to have enough matches to exceed some hidden threshold, which would first trigger a manual review by Apple. It seems very unlikely to have your own family photo result trigger anything.
- ByteWelder 5y agoThe problem with that is that the threshold is unknown, so it could be 2 or 3.
