> child-safety hash scanning

Suddenly I'm reminded of an old baby picture in an album somewhere, of me not wearing any clothes. If the other kind of "safety" scanning[1] is done, it might be possible to get arrested for a photograph of myself.

A story came out a few months ago about a guy who had a photo of his toddler's rash-affected groin area (taken at the doctor's behest) who had some essential account (Google?) permabanned because of it.

Lol. No, it scans against known photos with issues. Those types of photos AI won't process though, so we have to estimate them by just using neighboring photos.

I work at a large social media company that handles photos. :salute:
