> They don't work on the CSAM. They are a cloud provider who makes CSAM reports.

If you sort NCMEC's list of reporting providers by the number of submissions in 2020, then I come in at #40 out of 168. For 2019, I'm #31 out of 148

I repeatedly begged NCMEC for a hash set so I could try to automate detection. Eventually (about a year later) they provided me with about 20,000 MD5 hashes that match known CP. In addition, I had about 3 million SHA1 and MD5 hashes from other law enforcement sources.

Somehow this isn't "working with CSAM or CSAM databases", oh well.

I don't have access to this article. How does it show that people working with CSAM say Apple's implementation is a good idea?
