I would assume yes because no one really looks at what they store, but I know there's some databases where they take the images and do a one way hash on them and just store that. Not the best because if you change the image slightly it changes the whole hash, but at least your not storing illegal images.

I'm at work so I reaaaallly don't want to look up the possession laws. But I believe there are exceptions for "lawful possession" for law enforcement and government agencies. They probably do both hash and the image itself, knowing the NSA

But since laws only apply to us plebs and not the NSA...

Is this a surprise to anyone? They literally bring people into line by putting this kind of shit on their devices and it's got to be sourced from somewhere.

They've also got some really flattering pics of me, I'm sure. Snapchat is a wonderfully horrible thing.
