Indeed, I'm guessing this must be some cultural shift that was successfully implanted in some cultures because I too find the idea completely bonkers.

If babies playing naked are now child pornography, most Europeans above 50 should be jailed.

As that seems unlikely, I guess CSAM just uses a constantly updated database of known hashes for matching.

It doesn't mean they can't look at the matches without jailing you (still a violation of privacy).
