Nobody would have been looking directly at the source data. The FBI or whoever provides the dataset to approved groups, but after that you just say "use all the images in this folder" and it goes. But I don't even know if they actually provide real full-resolution images, or just perceptual hashes, or downsampled images.

And while it's possible to use the dataset to generate new images assuming the training data had full-res images, like I said, I know they investigate the people making the request before allowing access. And access is probably supervised and audited.
