> Facebook is one of the biggest social media services. Back in 2013, they were receiving 350 million pictures per day. However, Facebook hasn't released any more recent numbers, so I can only try to estimate. In 2020, FotoForensics received 931,466 pictures and submitted 523 reports to NCMEC; that's 0.056%. During the same year, Facebook submitted 20,307,216 reports to NCMEC. If we assume that Facebook is reporting at the same rate as me, then that means Facebook received about 36 billion pictures in 2020. At that rate, it would take them about 30 years to receive 1 trillion pictures.
