The tool then generates a digital fingerprint ID using the “hash” algorithm from the photos and videos sent by users. It then shares this data with the companies included in the system.
The images themselves are not shared with Facebook itself.
According to the information on the company’s website, StopNCII. The org tool does not store the original images from users in the database.
