Yes. The concern is reasonable, but given that this technology is widely implemented in basically every cloud storage offering, there isn't much to suggest that the described outcome will actually happen.

Do we know the described outcome is not happening with PhotoDNA, etc?

In the story it didn't became a well known issue since it would happen only to few unlucky individuals.

The same goes for the unintended asset freezing.

Maybe anecdotal evidence, but I've read multiple posts/news stories about people affected by sanctions because of a shared name. I figure that if there was an issue where PhotoDNA had actually led to someone being arrested, that would have made headlines somewhere, at least here.
