So they understand that their system is very susceptible to false positives, but they are saying their clients shouldn't worry because the black box hash gets compared with a black box inauditable threshold, both of which solely determined by Apple. I don't think the reaction was due to any confusion. People understood what Apple was trying to do and realized how much it sucked from a technical perspective.

Where did "very susceptible to false positives" come from? If the odds of a collision are one in a million that is troublesome if they only need one match. If they ignore anyone that has less than 3 matches, we don't really have to worry about false positives. People who have CSAM generally don't have only 1 or 2 images.

  So why 30 matches before they do something? Why not 100? Why not 5?

    I assume because they know the system is so false-positive-prone that even 29 false matches is a regular occurrence not worthy of wasting an employee's time to look at.
