Based on that one Senate hearing, it looks like big companies like Facebook, Discord and Twitter are aiming for the maximum percent of false positives and false negatives when it comes to CSAM.

The only thing I know about that screenshot is that it used to say "show results anyway" which is probably worse in most cases
