We need to decide on the name for the new extension to be created for the Hash Checking MVP. Discuss below potential names. We will aim to decide on a name before February 26.
Some initial candidates:
HashChecker (probably too generic)
MediaHashChecker
MediaChecker
MultiMediaContentChecker

The more or less standard term for what we're doing here seems to be 'Automatic Content Moderation', however that applies to text content as well as image content. So, maybe something derived from it?
We should not tie the name to a particular product (PhotoDNA) in case it doesn't meet our needs or another provider becomes available.
It is possible that the extension could be extended to additional scopes or features in the future (e.g. adding an additional subject area to scan for or additional approval workflows).
The name should not be too similar to another existing extension.
While there is an automatic component, there will also be notification and manual intervention. I prefer MediaModeration.
