In plain words

This tool uses perceptual hashing technology to identify child sexual abuse material by comparing images against known databases. It was designed for organizations, platforms, and researchers working to combat child exploitation. The tool operates by creating digital fingerprints of images that remain consistent even when files are slightly modified, enabling detection across large datasets. Available as open-source software on GitHub, it provides a technical approach for those responsible for content moderation and child safety.
