The second CyberTip stated that Synchronoss “had viewed the entire contents” of the second image, which “contained the lascivious exhibition of a ‘pre-pubescent’ minor.” In fact, Lawshe alleges, those statements were false, and the individuals in both images “were easily identifiable as adults by the barest of review.”
This is one of the concerns I have with these kinds of laws. It's starts with a hash flagging something and then goes all the way to some poor dude being arrested.
Even if a hash means someone looks at legal porn, you don't know the ages of those involved and people will very much interpret images differently.
I work with computers, I enjoy making them do things, but this kind of things with the false positives being potentially so damaging, no way. https://xkcd.com/2030/
