> It’s not predictive policing or anything like it, and it is obviously very much against Apple’s interest for it to generate false positives. It is not predictive policing. However it's a pretty close cousin. Automated policing. I'm also skeptical that a blurred image will be enough to confirm/deny CP. I'm pretty sure that it's a system similar to YouTube's content ID and will work out in a very similar fashion. Also they have a very good incentive to err on the side of false positives in order to reduce liability for hosting CP on their servers. It worked for the DMCA, now law enforcement are trying something similar for CP. |

It’s not policing. This is a mechanism to detect if people are uploading known child pornography images to Apple’s servers without giving Apple access to your photos. That is the only use case for this system.
Yes, if you try to upload such a collection, a police report may be filed, but only if you do this specific thing and it is verified by humans.

It doesn’t have to confirm CP - it only has to confirm that the image matches the known CP from the database.
