   Not sure what the paywall'd one says, but this one focuses on child
   pornography, which makes it harder to argue for a public system.
   Other corps are doing this.  Free software generally does not.
   The detection algorithm is transported in the form of a pretrained
   computer vision model, which opens other concerns too, of course, via
   its generality and obscurity.
