I am still waiting for someone to scrape all the images of naked people on reddit/imgur and do some classification based on the subreddit from which the image comes from. (For those who don't know: a lot of porn subreddits are _highly_ specific to a certain topic which might help for classification)

That is not the same case morally as Tinder because photos posted on Reddit are public and have no expectation of privacy. (also, it's not technically complex to get the image URLs from the Reddit data dumps, albeit getting the images themselves will likely hit a ToS violation)

  Really? Does this apply even if the photo is posted without the consent of photographer or subject? (because we already had that, and it was a fiasco)

    I said not-the-same-case; the legality is still incredibly complicated.
