There's no need for someone to get the entire CSAM database. If they go on the darknet and just find enough images (or hashes) that would trip Apple's system, that would be enough. I'd assume any publicly available image on the darknet would likely also be on CSAM.

- gnulinux 5y agoHuman doesn't need to see the material. One can automate this by crawling websites with known bad material and compute hash of all images. Surely some of those hashes are CSAM, we don't know which. But it's still equally dangerous.
