On one hand, I applaud this - CASM is a massive issue, and the internet community has never taken it as seriously as it should have.
As many others have noted - the potential for misuse is rife. Also, realize that Apple has a single set of infrastructure for their phones and macs, especially now that M1 exists. I've read accounts in the person where disaffected people "planted" porn on other peoples system, then called the police.
Imagine a web server with a page and a hash map matching image, with a frame-size of 1px. It's now in your cache.
Also, it's almost inevitable that this is a slippery slope. Today is may be pre-hashed images. Tommorow it may be AI detection. The day after it may be vaccine falsehoods. The day after it may be other bad government speach.
This is needed. This is a major major problem. But I hope someone is thinking of how to mitigate the potential for abuse.
