Good luck finding a malicious app that downloads child porn from an encrypted remote server, plants it in the target device, sends "by mistake" an example to social media using the owner credentials, then deletes itself. This is crazy. Child porn traffickers will find a way to circumvent this while it would offer governments just another weapon against people they don't like. Also they completely ignore that we're talking about child porn; if someone is wrongly linked with the subject for just one second by the media, no matter how many times the news is being rectified afterwards, his life may be ruined forever. It's not like being accused of avoiding taxes or theft; any mental association with things like child porn or rape is not going away easily. Any technology that could be (ab)used to plant evidence in such cases would be the ultimate weapon to destroy individuals without actually killing them. Better not to have it than to risk that it ends in the wrong hands.
