Which is the same thing as saying "have a higher false positive rate," and then we have the problem.

This is exacerbated by the same kind of system having the same application for copyright infringement, which means there will be a large community of people dedicated to defeating it. Every time they find another workaround, you have to increase the false positive rate. It only ever goes up.

This is why everyone hates Content ID. The pirates know how to defeat it, meanwhile it regularly flags public domain works and recordings of randomly generated white noise to say nothing of fair use etc.

The solution to revenge porn isn't platforms, it's why isn't the ex getting called "defendant" by a judge for making the recording without permission?
