Background

GitHub uses automated scanning to detect some of the most egregious kinds of abuse on the platform such as child sexual exploitation and abuse imagery (CSEAI). We scan based on robust hash matching techniques using the PhotoDNA tool and also incorporate human review to confirm images detected as hits and submit those accounts to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
