- stephenr 5y agoWell I’m pretty sure at least a decent number of HN users are intelligent enough to understand the difference between a piece of software that compares image hashes to detect potential child abuse material before, and malware. If OP didn’t agree to the principal of his images being compared against a set of hashes he could literally just turn off iCloud photos, and the comparisons will not be done. On right I forgot it’s the internet so everything has to become a controversy and there must be revenge.
