I haven't forgot about the guy that sent photos of his child to his doctor and was investigated for child pornography. With these systems, in my humble opinion, you are just one innocent photo at the beach away from your life turned upside down.

- dredmorbius 3y agoDo you have a reference on that?
- robertoandred 3y agoThat scenario would've been impossible with Apple's system.
- barsonme 3y agoIt would’ve been less likely, not impossible. Perceptive hashing absolutely has issues with false positives.
- robertoandred 3y agoNo, it would've been impossible. One photo match wouldn't have been enough to trigger any sort of response within Apple's system. And that's ignoring the fact that his photo wouldn't have matched anyway because it isn't in any CSAM database.
- barsonme 3y agoApple’s proposal used perceptual hashing, which does have false positives, not cryptographic hashing, which does not.
