If they can handle recompressing 300+ million photos a day they could proabably add a quick check for steganograpic markers and dump those images off to a separate queue for further processing, if they were so inclined.

The whole point of steganography is to not leave any markers. But yes, in theory they could scan them on upload but I'm not exactly sure what their prerogative to do so would be (unless the extension turns out to be used for terrorism that is). And plus, with that many photos to process the low false positive rate is going yo cause them huge problems.
