The article is not talking about has matching, though. Quote from one of the Europol officials:

“All data is useful and should be passed on to law enforcement, there should be no filtering by the [EU] Centre because even an innocent image might contain information that could at some point be useful to law enforcement,”

Yeah and how to find that location? If you are opposed to any measure that compromises your digital privacy, physical surveillance is the only way

> The article is not talking about has matching, though

Sure. In context of this subthread you are correct. But remember when Apple tried to do it with hash matching? They published a white paper detailing their algorithm. Remember how everyone here instantly whined about total surveillance? It was just like last year. The sentiment is always the same "my privacy may not be compromised if it concerns safety of helpless victims whom I don't care about"
