It doesn’t say.

But the tool, like the CSAM takedown system, is coordinated with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and adult sites like Pornhub and Onlyfans use the CSAM tool, so even if they aren’t talking about it in the article they have something in place to prevent that. If it could easily be gamed to take down legal, consensually posted pornography featuring adults, Pornhub and Onlyfans would not be voluntarily using it.

This system is ripe for abuse without any outside oversight. All it takes is for that organization to be controlled by a group of reactionary right wingers, and then they can ban anything they want.

Just because the anti-abuse safeguards are not detailed in the article doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

It doesn’t talk about the specific hash functions used for this thing either but those definitely exist and they are definitely using them.

My concern is based on the lack of oversight and transparency of an organization with so much potential power. We have a long history of attacks on civil liberties under the banners of child protection and counter-terrorism.

When the big porn sites start having issues with NCMEC and how they curate their databases, I’ll worry about that. But they all seem to get along fine right now, so I’m not worried about it.

You’ll have to forgive me, but when the supreme court has become so completely politicized and illegitimate, it’s hard to have any faith in the resiliency of any other institutions.
