Will this work differently depending on what country you are in? For instance, back in 2010 there was that thing about Australia ruling that naked cartoon children count as actual child porn. [1]

It's perfectly legal elsewhere (if a bit weird) to have some Simpsons/whatever mash-up of sexualised images, but if I flew on a plane to the land down under, would I then be flagged?

edit: If this is scanning stuff on your phone automatically, and you have whatsapp or whatever messenger set to save media automatically, then mass texting an image that is considered 'normal' in the sender country, but 'bad' in the recipients, you could get a lot of people flagged just by sending a message.
