I had thought I'd seen some articles long ago that Microsoft was doing this with everyone's one-drive cloud thing that is auto installed with windows 10(?) and added to windows 8 if you install office (still?) -
that Microsoft's onedrive system auto-detects pics with X% of skin showing, and when it does, all of your nudie (and semi-nudie) pics were sent to humans to look at automatically - and those humans could forward your pics to other people and agencies..
So I have always assumed that google would be doing the same, as I recall some articles about them leading the way in detecting and censoring pics, and providing detectives with things like bed sheet matches for hotels, and tracking phone numbers and pics of hookers that changes cities (that one was a google employee on 6 month leave or something?)
I have not seen anything about Apple getting into these things, would be quite interesting if they do the same - it would mean all of the fappening celeb victims had already been peeped on before hackers release them to the public right?
are you 100% on "only check files which have been shared between users though." ?
- I do not recall seeing that in the info I read some time ago.
"typically use hashes of files" - I don't think this changes anything as far as msoft employees and others looking at pics of your kids or wife /gf / bf, etc; if you have taken the photos or he/she did and sent them to you right? This would only remove some of the internet shared/saved photos from the pile right?
Privately taken pics saved on the windows computer are / would still be sent to employed humans to look at, from what I understand.
