> It proved that it was technically feasible, and was "privacy preserving".

Didn't their paper disproved by reversing the perceptual hashes to reveal blurred version of the images being hashed, and Apple basically said "that's fair, it's not as robust as we wanted, let's visit this later"?

If not, I'll happily stand corrected, but please share sources.

Addenda:

- Apple's original paper: https://web.archive.org/web/20210807165030/https://www.apple...

- Paper breaking the hash: https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.06628

Edit: The second one is the wrong paper. I’ll find and link the correct one tomorrow. Keeping the link for transparency.
