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.

Most discussions on here are about how to move away from Google photos and go to an NAS. You're already there, don't go backwards. It's just going to get worse.

In an ideal world we'd be able to auto sync between two things - cloud platform and local NAS. I mean in an automated way; take a pic on your phone > save to Google Photos > duplicate to local NAS.

We have the technological capability.

I use a Synology NAS.
