Is it legal to host an ultra high resolution image of a dollar bill?
- tenebrisalietum 4y agoYou have to put SPECIMEN on it.
- _a9 4y agoI downloaded a very hires image that has both sides of a $20 bill (Counterfeit but looks real) from a DNM many years ago. For shits and giggles I would sometimes upload it to random hosting sites to see if anything happens, I first uploaded it to google drive and it's still on that account to this day. Did the same with dropbox and onedrive but I cant check since I don't remember the passwords but nothing happened initially. It might be a different story if I would have generated a public share link. At least for Google I'm pretty sure they scan for copyrighted content with public links, so I assume they do currency checks.

- kypro 4y agoI always thought it would be interesting if someone were able to create an image that wasn't CSAM, but that would nevertheless be falsely flagged as CSAM by the detection algorithms. That would potentially be a great way to cause someone a lot of headaches by sending seemingly innocent pictures that would inadvertently put them on a watchlist. This seems much easier to exploit though assuming some devices / applications will notify the FBI with enough suspicious activity. I guess it depends if counterfeiting is taken as seriously as CSAM.
