> they are sending known photos of child exploitation to a minor

How do you know its a known photo of child exploitation? The original image that was hashed and then deleted. Two completely different images have the same hash.

WhatsApp automatically saves images to photos. What if you receive a bad image and are reported due to someone else sending the image to you?



You’re obliged to report that image to the police. These types of images are contraband.

Is this a legal obligation for all countries that iPhones operate in? I wasn't able to find a law via a quick google search for the US.

For US law, are there protections for people that report the contraband? I'm not sure if good samaritan or whistle blower laws protect you.
