> While I applaud the goal

Really? What is the goal?

It's not to prevent child abuse, since passively looking at images is not, per se, abuse.

It's also not to limit the making of child pornography, since this will only search for already existing and already known images that already exist in government databases.

If you make new images that are not yet in said databases, you're fine.

I'm not sure what the actual goal is (project a virtuous company image, maybe?), but the result could very well be the opposite of what people think.

Consumption feeds production.


Or the opposite: consumption prevents people from acting out.
