Google’s scans don’t just uncover illegal footage of children being abused, but animations of minors being exploited too.
Google has publicized two main ways it deals with child abuse images on its systems, but it doesn't talk much about how it detects explicit animated material. Over the last two decades, tech giants have had to deal with an ever-growing deluge of videos and images of child sexual abuse on their platforms. As, it’s a difficult problem to solve, where scanning people’s devices and online accounts for illegal content can lead to concerns about privacy.
That kind of content is potentially illegal to own under U.S. law and can be detected by Google's anti-child sexual material systems, a fact not previously discussed in the public domain, the warrant reveals. Google has long acknowledged that its code can look out for child abuse using two technologies. The first uses YouTube-designed software that looks out for"hashes" of previously-known illegal content.
