How easy is it to generate an image that has the same “perceptual hash” or whatever that are calling it? My guess is it has to be easier than cracking a non fuzzy hash? Do we know the algorithm they are using?

>We don’t know much about this algorithm. What if someone can make collisions?

How absurd, insecurity through obscurity.
