> “We follow US law in defining what constitutes CSAM and use a combination of hash matching technology and artificial intelligence to identify it and remove it from our platforms,” said Christa Muldoon, a Google spokesperson.
> Muldoon added that Google staffers who review CSAM were trained by medical experts to look for rashes or other issues. They themselves, however, were not medical experts and medical experts were not consulted when reviewing each case, she said.
Which is a nice way of saying: "AI flagged the pictures, we can't really judge if they are medical pictures or not. Enjoy your permaban!"
Besides, permabanning someone because of a single flagged picture seems like a dumb policy anyway. Even if there was no rash or inflammation in the picture, the child could have had a pain in the groin, so wanting to visually examine it could make sense for a doctor.
