First I’ve heard of StopNCII… what’s to stop it from being abused to remove (say) images of police brutality or anything else states or “participating companies” don’t want to be seen?
So anyone care to expound on this?
I know hash marks are a one way communication video games made you use to combat pirating. I do not think they should be allowed to force you to do such things for video game unlocking but I am sure they have gotten worse not better.

Becaue hashes are known to work great with images 🤦♂️
They say to use PDQ for images which should output a similar hash for similar images (but why MD5 for video ?). So probably it is only a threshold problem.
The algorithm is explained herehttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebook/ThreatExchange/main/hashing/hashing.pdf
it is not an hash in the cryptographic sense.
There was a github thread about this when it came up for CSAM, they managed to easily circumvent it. I’m rather confident this will end up similarly
