"WhatsApp joins avalanche of criticism of Apple's plan to scan iPhones for images of child abuse and send them to police"
![Idea :idea:](./images/smilies/icon_idea.gif)
Considering the many photos that may appear to show child abuse, these phone owners (and users of the internet service)
will need to document every photo on their device (whether taken by owner or received*) in case a future investigation requires proof
that child abuse is not occurring. Incidentally, children's photos may not be the only ones of interest to these scheming (?) scanners.
* photos received are "on the phone" until discarded (but not necessarily erased, considering today's technology).
And the owner is guilty until proven innocent, considering how some child protection services operate.

Best guess: A device not connected to the internet seems best for many children's photos
until this new policy includes reliable societal controls. And considering other photos "of interest",
secure encryption now seems required for images stored on internet-connected devices.
