Without reading the link, can this be used to help find child porn? If yes, are there any steps you can or are going to take in order to prevent this?

It only filters images already there - child porn isn't already among the chaff only thing it can find by definition would be false positives. Which could be an interesting vetting exercise in itself - feed in tons of cat pictures until it dings on one as inappropriate.

Technically you can always try cycling through image combinations match the hash/looks like child pornography and nothing could technically prevent it except that it would take a very, very, long time.

Even given adversarial networks I would be very surprised to get anything more than vague figures and I don't even expect the result to look human. In which case it is really generating instead of finding.
