I just don’t want them scanning my phone for the purpose of turning me in. I definitely do not want to take an OS update or new phone that does this.
(False positives are the huge flaw in this system, though. There are human judgements by anonymous people using opaque processes without appeal throughout this.

Others have well laid out the scenarios that will result in serious consequences for innocent people.)
