This system will only search for known images. If you make new images of child pornography, you're fine (or at least, you won't be flagged by this system). So this initiative does nothing to prevent child abuse.

I understand that. I recommend listening to the podcast if you want to understand the issue in more detail. It's a heavy subject but people here generally want to see both sides of an issue, and I am pretty confident that most people have not really taken in the untold damage this brings to the abuse victims and their families as they are continuously notified about past images of their abuse being found and circulated. Which is how this actually works.

I would be worried about a model predicting child sexual abuse content from unknown images but I am not in the least concerned with one that fingerprints known images.
