Project Arachnid
Project Arachnid makes an API available for companies that want to put a serious effort towards preventing this material from being posted and distributed on their systems.
Project Arachnid is constantly evolving and leverages several technological tools to optimize its effectiveness. A fundamental technology used within Project Arachnid is image and video hashing — a process that assists in matching a particular image or video against a database of known CSAM. Hashing technology can either be exact (images are exact matches), or it can be a close match (an image with minor modifications, for example). Close matches are obtained by using “perceptual hashing technology” or Microsoft PhotoDNA software.
