Apple’s solution was not like Google’s. Google used AI to try to find CSAM, thus it flagged the father’s picture taken to send to a doctor. Apple’s solution was to check against a database of known abuse images. It would not be capable of flagging a new photo someone took. Of the two solutions Google’s may find more offenders, but it would clearly find FAR more false positives. The only way for a false positive in the Apple system is for two unrelated images to have identical perceptual hashes (with multiple algorithms?). Plus there was no reporting until a threshold of multiple (10+) matches were found, so one false positive wouldn’t do it.
