A spy agency or secret police doing this to use the client-side scanning system as a surveillance/censorship system for political media would not care about that.
- giantrobot 3y agoEven if such systems were only used for their stated purpose of finding CSAM, because no one can audit the database of hashes there's no guarantee that non-CSAM images aren't in there. Just being accused of having CSAM is a life ruining event. Even if someone is eventually cleared of charges their life is forever altered. The "We Got Him!!" headlines are front page news, retractions are filed in a basement filing cabinet with a sign that says "Beware of Leopard".
