It can't. No actions are taken on hashes alone. The procedure is, if an account uploads some number of images with matching hashes, those images are verified by a human.

This can attack that system itself, though, by overloading those humans with too much work looking at random noise, but that requires quite a large organised effort. It also requires getting a hold of actual blacklisted hashes, which I doubt anyone has, unless they have actual child pornography.
