And they aren't going to act on a single hash collision. People who have these images likely aren't going to have one or two.

People can argue against this approach for privacy reasons, but I think the false positive argument is a relatively weak one.

There won’t be any collisions. It’s not a bit-for-bit Comparison. The algorithm uses machine learning to categorize images using perceptual match.

There will be many false positives, they will be reviewed by people. When there’s more than a few false positives, you will be investigated by the FBI.
