In case it wasn't already obvious that they are not encrypting like they said they were...

One question. If they know those are minors and that they know that the pictures are nudes, why the hell don’t they just ban the accounts that try to send nudes to minors? Also who the hell thinks it is a good idea to send nudes to Meta?

It was eye-opening when I realized I'm the only one in my circle who gives a shit about online privacy. You and me and most of the Fediverse are a rare minority. This is normal to people now. If you told people in the 90s about this they'd rightfully call it a dystopia. I remember my mother being super paranoid about me going online back then. Boiling frog situation here.

I would suspect because there is probably space for errors in the detection system

Doesn't instagram claim messages are e2e encrypted? How can this work without them having access to all messages?

On device image recognition?

Great, now our youth will have premature forehead wrinkles from all the squinting they will need to do.
