Looks like you're right. I edited my comment. It looks like there's a couple fairly different changes that are happening:

- There's a system to catch CSAM that is either PhotoDNA or something that works similarly.

- There's a system to detect novel nudes, and notify parents if their children view them.

I think I got these two mixed together.

That's fair. Apple did a shit job of explaining themselves, and it has been compounded by a lot of misinformation (deliberate or not) in response. I'm trying really, really hard to moderate my reaction to this whole mess until I feel like I actually understand what Apple intends to do. I don't make platform jumps lightly.
