Here we go again.

I dealt with a few CSAM cases in previous jobs and there’s an oddity in UK law: if you even suspect there’s a CSA image - including regular nudes of someone under the age of consent - on a device, it is illegal for you to check.

By opening the image to determine what it is, you are prosecutable. (Not sure if anything has changed since, as this was nearly 10 years ago).

There are many, far better, ways to deal with this issue that don’t destroy relationships and futures.

Bit of a catch-22…

It is.

I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that their consistent advice was to call them so they could take it away to examine instead…
