“Arguably a prudent move is to avoid doing something that could leak and be misused.”

Nah - this is a matter of not using basic common sense and an over-the-top reaction to something most people wouldn’t give a half a hoot about.
The authorities need to get real and chill out on things such as this. It’s the dumb teens and even dumber adults who need to stop taking nekkid pics of themselves and sending ‘em all over the planet.
It isn’t yesteryear.
This “common sense” thing you refer to only works for like minded thinkers in your particular bubble. Forty or fifty years ago your remark would be spot on, as our culture was pretty much unified. With the left’s diversity and multiculturalism all coupled with a rabid MSM, you can be crucified for just about anything.
Some day this will all come to a boil, and that’s when we will thank our dear Lord for the 2A.
