I don't believe it's based on the "same technology" in any meaningful manner. My understanding was that CSAM scanning was based on comparing perceptual hashes to known CSAM images. This doesn't seem like it would be particularly effective at preventing sexual images from being sent to minors because Apple doesn't have a collection of hashes every sexual image including ones yet to be taken. Apple's got a FAQ for this at https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/Expanded_Protections_for_Children_Frequently_Asked_Questions.pdf https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/Expanded_Protections_... that explicitly states: >These two features are not the same and do not use the same technology. but doesn't clarify the differences. Gotta imagine they're referring to the distinction I made because, again, Apple's probably not developed some sort of precognitive nudie hashing. Just spitballing but I'd imagine they're using some ML model trained to detect generic adult images, y'know, the same technology that they're using the make the Photos app more searchable. But detecting generic adult images has been around for ages.
