First I’ve heard of StopNCII... what’s to stop it from being abused to remove (say) images of police brutality or anything else states or “participating companies” don’t want to be seen?
Literally nothing. It will be applied more nefariously after it's been proven capable.
You guys are all acting like this “technology” is new lol. It’s the exact same way that all of the big companies detect CSAM - they have databases of hashes of known CSAM images, and every time you upload a file to their servers they hash your image and compare it to their database. If your uploads get a few matches, they flag your account for manual investigation.
All this is doing is applying the same process for other types of images - non consensual intimate images, or “revenge porn” as it’s more commonly known.
CSAM has systems in place to prevent abuse in the way you mention, as it uses databases managed by separate companies all over the world, and it has to match on multiple databases precisely to stop it from being abused that way. I would assume this is the same.
Their policy to not be evil.
The one they dropped years ago?
Thats the one!
Yes, I, too, understood the point of the comment.
Ah yes—the only known force weaker than gravity.
Where do internal investigations fall?
