Comment on The Apple Psi System [pdf]parent

"For the ones of people this system might actually catch with legitimate CSAM there will be at least as many false positives slipping through to ruinous consequences."

How are you calculating this?

Apple claims without math that it's a 1-in-a-trillion chance that your account will be incorrectly flagged.

And even then... what happens? Does the FBI actually smash down your door with a SWAT team for CSAM? In most cases, No. They go and arrest you the normal way. Unless you had a ludicrous amount of false flags (in the thousands) showing you were a dealer and had a previous history.
