Btw, this algorithm has an error rate (one advocate of it claims it works "99% of the time") and these people didn't check (to avoid being held legally liable).

It also appears one person cited in another article was appointed by the populist leader of what could be called Australia's right-wing and conspiracy ridden Jesus Party, and that she's made appearances on the podcast of an infamous Utah-based anti-porn group (which is staffed by lots of anti-LGBT figures and claimed being gay leads to mass murder).
One of her advisors is infamous for trying to misrepresent legitimate content as "CSAM" (he is also strangely fixated on "ritual abuse" and panders to populism). So, I'm going to say I'm sceptical of her too.
The former Prime Minister made an appearance before the Parliament to claim schools contain satanic ritual abuse (a long debunked conspiracy theory) and his best friend believes in the Q conspiracy theory.
@olives I honestly have no idea what the second half of your post is referring to. PhotoDNA has problems (I've written about them many times). But the one thing it does well: if you have a photo that's in the DB, it finds it.
