Even if you can somehow get past the absolutely horrendous privacy implications, how the fuck is this even supposed to work? They want to prevent "digital flashing" (eg, dick pics), but how the fuck is any system supposed to be able to tell the difference between consensual and non-consensual content? What if someone wants to see a picture of someone's dick? Even assuming you can create a computer model that can accurately identify a dick pic every single time (you can't), it would also have to be able to infer context to a level that would require effectively human level intelligence and the ability to make judgements across the entirety of a person's communications. This is so far beyond impossible, from a purely technical standpoint, that I cannot begin to imagine how it was ever allowed to become law.

I'd also argue a human monitoring your conversation would likely make similar mistakes in judgement about what's happening, and this kind of invasion of privacy just isn't okay in any form. There could be whole extra conversations happening that they can't see (like speaking IRL before sending a consentual picture).

I agree, but my point is that even in the minds of the people who think it's OK to invade privacy like this, I still don't see how this is supposed to produce useful results.
