This makes me wonder how best to solve this problem in a truly zero-knowledge, E2E-encrypted app. Do you hash images and test against a known database before sending? Do you use image recognition on the device?

It seems like a truly private messaging app can’t/won’t fix this, so any app could become a substitute for WhatsApp if they do fix it.
