Unfortunately the threat model of an authoritarian surveillance state is
not unlike an American high school.

Also, it is hilarious that even in the digital connected smartphone age,
it is still the hormone raging jocks who are behind something like this.
When I was in high school, members of the football team had a secret
(tho not very) code / indicator for which girls were more promiscuous.
How did I know this? Well I computed all the stats of course on my 286.

My point is that jocks are going to jock, and as always, good parenting
is a big part of the answer.II also like the idea of "safer sexting"
since, like actual sex, we aren't going to stop minors from doing this
sort of thing.

I am open to de-emphasizing this as a hidden photo vault app in our
messaging.
