If this feature were designed to prevent unsolicited nudity, it would be far easier to turn off. It probably shouldn't trigger for people in your contacts at all, and it should have an override button for everybody else. This is not the case, and the feature is even triggered when sending messages with such photos, so this is clearly not its intended purpose.

Isn't the feature opt-in?

  According to what I read in the article, yes.

Start off by reading the linked article. The feature is opt-in, and has to be manually turned on. It only triggers on child accounts where this is enabled. It is designed to protect children from being taken advantage of by stopping both incoming and outgoing nudity.

  No idea how one-child sending nude pics to another child can be described as taking advantage of anyone. Who's the perpetrator here? And while the feature is opt-in, it's opt-in by parents, and has no granular, per-message overrides when the child knows what they're doing. While a general dickpic content warning is a good idea, there should be a "see anyway" button.

    I'm sorry, I'm no happier about this feature than you seem to be, but... > there should be a "see anyway" button If you read the article and look at the pictures, "View photo..." is right underneath the blurred photo. It may not be called "see anyway", and it may not be a button per se, but it has the exact same effect.

> It probably shouldn't trigger for people in your contacts at all Why? If you harass someone, you will put it into contacts so that it is easier.

  They mean on the receiving end. :)

    So like, if someone harassed me, I have to remove that person from contacts and thus not have ability to identify that person? That is absurd too.

    Even on the receiving end, I could imagine someone sending dick pics or whatever after having already befriended the child, and already being in their contact list. Better would be a “ignore for future messages from this person” button, but keep the warning for the first time.
