Word auto-correction can be re-educated. (Yes, I used the scary word, because that’s what it deserves.) It’s been a while since I fiddled with it, but what words it hits, etc, can all be customized. Or you can turn the ****ed thing off.
As to prosecuting anyone who has the pic: same as usual with this stuff, send it to the all the prosecutors and judges in a 500 miles radius. No one left to prosecute you.
Well, if they were honest, which they aren’t. Strict liability in criminal matters is just BEGGING to be abused like this. Same problem with drugs.
