But are these photos that are combined in a row with other CP, and thus indicative that if you have this photo, it’s from a CP collection?
Why would I have any content in my phone that would be in that database?

Imagine things like:
- A kitchen with nobody in frame.
- A couch with nobody in frame.
- Outdoor scenery with nobody in frame.
- A bathroom with nobody in frame.
Is it hard to believe you wouldn't download something like this without knowing where it came from?
I'm not talking about borderline stuff. I'm talking about content that has not even a hint of pornography or illegality.
But why am I downloading such things to begin with? Not only do these sound like very boring photos, given their providence I don’t understand this realistic pathway to get onto my phone.
So why is it in there and why do they care?
Why assume competence of a shadowy unelected NGO?
Law enforcement care because they want to get pinged whenever someone shares imagery of interest to an investigation, irrespective of its legality.
A person who creates CSAM likely doesn't just create CSAM all the time, right? Those innocuous pictures get lumped together with illegal content and make it into the database.
The database is a mess, basically. Of course it is. It's gigantic beyond your wildest estimates.
Maybe cropped photos, or innocent frames from videos containing abuse? Not sure what GP is referring to.

It's easy to imagine a collection with pictures from numerous sources. Including pictures of adults.
