To be clear, I definitely didn't want examples in terms of links to the actual content. Just a general description. Like, was a beach ball misclassified as a heinous crime, or was it perfectly legal consensual porn with adults that was misclassified, or was it something that even a human could potentially mistake for CSAM. Or something else entirely.

I understand it seems like they don't want to give examples, perhaps due to professional or legal reasons, and I can respect that. But I also think that information is very important if they're trying to argue a side of the debate.

I gave that above in a sibling thread.

In my case, it’s been 7 years so I’m not confident enough of my memory to give a detail description of each false positive. All I can say is that the photos that were false positive that included people were either very obviously fully clothed and doing something normal, or the photo was of something completely innocuous all together (I seem to remember an example of the latter was the Windows XP green field stock desktop wallpaper, but I’m not positive on that).
