Well there's a good balance. Running PhotoDNA [0] on every image sent is a pretty good practice. Raising flags on any content that might break community guidelines is a completely different story. Two users might willingly want to break the code of conduct between them for whatever reason -- and Facebook wants to be able to halt that. In contrast, there's no legal grey area if you share child pornography. Just using an automated tool for that is great -- extending it to the entire platform's guidelines is not.
