I would hope so as well. However, my hopes for these policing algorithms have been dashed too many times. The potential for abuse is just too great without effective laws and appropriate procedures. We've seen the results at YouTube, Pasco County Florida, the UK, and Facebook.
There is a reason that a key part of justice is being able to face your accusers. Secret algorithms are being used to abrogate this right. You can't cross examine an algorithm. Expert witnesses to contradict its expertise are too expensive for most defendants. Then the developers of the algorithm can claim with plausible deniability that the algorithm is 1 in a trillion accurate.
It's essentially the new bite mark analysis and polygraph pseudoscience used to elicit false admissions of guilt or convince gullible juries. "We have the hash of your photo George, we KNOW you are a pedophile. Just admit it and you can go home. We'll go easy on you. We promise!"
