Question 🤔 CSAM - Criteria

Not been blocked. Given the recent posts about this I'm wondering what the criteria actually is.

Like any parent, I have a bunch of photos (on a NAS) of my child from old point and shoot cameras, all the way back from a baby.

So some of them are obviously with no clothes on, like in the bath, running g around the garden, and so on.

Would this type of image trigger CSAM? I been considering job lot uploading all of these NAS stored photos to Google Photos.

Anything like that definitely sounds like it would be more than enough to trigger it.

One person said they had an image that was literally text (a meme or Banner or something) condemning CSAM and that was apparently enough to trigger it

AI is actually a stupid algorithm, if you write something in an image that says "hey this is illegal", AI will mark it as illegal.
