Ok but PhotoDNA has been doing this scanning for a decade, I believe, and none of these things have happened despite how easy it would seem to be?

Or have Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook, etc., been doing this with such stealth that no-one has actually noticed it happening yet?




Those aren't run on edge devices. Apple's model saves them money and creates a capability - local scanning - which didn't exist before.


Recall that apple devices include an ML accelerator, at some point or another, the next step down this slope will be adding this to the display pipeline.

PhotoDNA and similar are done in on-premises machines, nothing on your own private phone.
