Re: So....yeah... Not necessarily. They can use hashes of the material. These hashes could be provided from the FBI. When they get a request for a media file they could then run the same algorithm that the FBI uses to produce the hash and see if it matches any in their database.
Btw, this is likely one way they will do checks for these media files too (there are others but most take a good amount of time to run. I doubt people will be willing to wait to get their media files for minutes or hours to verify their validity) |
