Why

To catch bad actors.

How

Using technology to crawl through all images on a phone (either good or bad) and identify which ones are bad.

Opinion

A long time ago this would be unthinkable as it clearly intrudes on personal items without consent.
However privacy is a service losing its value and "care" throughout each generation. Eventually this is going to happen when enough people do not care about this level of privact anymore.
