Any service that claims security by storing sensitive image hashes is misleading its users and at potential risk for an attack like this.

That kind of attacks should be used as wide as possible.
In Russia we have state agency Roskomnadzor, initially it was some kind of FCC, but now it is internet censoring entity. Every provider have to prevent user access to the list of URL's and IP's that agency spread among providers. Providers heavily fined for disobeying. Since only dumb person will work for state censoring agency and create censorship laws, they obviously made all that crap as crappy as possible. Eventually, that agency became some kind of official state clowns in the eyes of Russian internet users.
Humiliation began from simple trick - censored domain owner just set his A record of domain to the IP of some government service. Since domain is banned, everything it point to should be banned too. Roskomnadzor iself was in banned state many months during the years they propagate censorship. Other goverment sites too. Now they have another list of domains that should not be banned, but it is still incomplete and from time to time different government services become censored.
Using different social media to provoke Roskomnadzor to censor them also works perfect. They even banned GitHub mutiple time, inducing the hate even in most loyal internet users.
Setting IP of censored domain to 127.0.0.1 also works very interesting way - it hang some commercial censoring solutions, since that solution bans its local interface and stop working.
The war of Roskomnadzor against Telegram in Russia was an excellent source of lulz. And state finally lost that war. (Telegram itself is a shitty BigBrother entity too, but that is another story)
Now in Russia every single internet user know what VPN is, how to use Tor and other systems and that deputies who issue that dumb internet censoring laws and bureaucrats and employees of Roskomnadzor are fucking stupid morons.
Even simple methods could be successfull in the fight against intrusion of state and corporations into internet. So they should be used widely at the earliest opportunity.
