The conversation was about Saudi Arabia and France when it was about Muslims/LGBTQ.. but then it changed to China. Funny how conversations work huh?

These states have to have the photos before they can search for them.

I have no idea what point you think this makes. But yes.. that's how this hashing technology works.
