Notoriety
1. Relates to an important corporation (Microsoft) and issue (child protection). 2. Regularly mentioned in technology news. 3. Mentioned in other Wikipedia articles. 4. Employed as a technology by several corporations

Therefore, I believe that this technology deserves to be a separate article. LT90001 (talk) 10:10, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Confusion of PhotoDNA with Google AI CSAM detection
The article confuses PhotoDNA with Google's AI CSAM detection technology due to a misunderstanding of the cited New York Times story on the two dads.

From the NYT:

This is the only time PhotoDNA is mentioned in the NYT story cited. The story goes on to discuss Google's AI tooling in contrast, explicitly stating that the photos in question were flagged by Google's AI rather than PhotoDNA.

No other mention is made of PhotoDNA in the NYT story. The other cited articles (The Verge, Gizmodo, Techspot) all make it clear that they are merely summarizing the NYT story, and only Techspot asserts any link between PhotoDNA and the images in question:
