>> has effect that each person would behave as 'someone is looking' I don’t think that’s true. Compare the difference in how people react to cctv vs how they react to “Surveillance Camera Man”. This is a cctv system, you can forget it’s there. Until it incorrectly flags you anyway.

But you don't take your clothes off in places with cctv, because you know that you don't want to be recorded doing that. People are aware where and how they are recorded. Phones are (well.. were) private, people take nudes, do naked video calls and all the other related stuff, because they trust that there is only one other person watching this, and they usually trust that person. Now, we're one step away from trump-beats-cnn-gif-meme getting into the hash database to flag all the trump supporters. When the next wikileaks happens, and they can track who had the documents/photos/videos first, possibly even before they got leaked. Someone (4chan,...) can email you photos an videos that are of something random, but crafted in a way to create a false positive (a bit slower form of swatting). This is basically setting up cctv in your bedroom, saying it's there "to protect the children" and trusting some stupid algorithm to look at you.

  Someone stole my Aunt's laptop a while ago, but she managed to hunt the person down and get it back only to find the bloody thing had it's password reset, accounts wiped, etc... She gave it to me to get back in working order, and I had to ask her if she was interested in pressing charges, because handing it to me may compromise chain of custody of any investigation. She decided not to proceed with filing charges, but just wanted me to investigate and restore the bloody thing. The person in question sync's their mobile content to that laptop. I had more than enough evidence of phone use while driving, who they were associating with, where they were hanging out, what they were doing, etc.... I didn't even have to try digging. Do not underestimate the level of mindless information spillage by modern devices, nor the level of exposure guaranteed always on, officially acknowledged hooks into your device sensor or input feeds offers.

We have had to remind (older) family members at times to not send pictures of their young children/relatives if the pictures have any nudity or could possibly be considered suggestive. Even if not illegal in any way, it’s one of those things where even an accusation can be seriously damaging. The prospect of your phone continually scanning your photos will make that even worse.
