Perhaps the app itself can use ml to detect flag and prevent known images from being sent...

I'm opposed to this on other grounds, but computing and checking a single hash for each image wouldn't be that big a burden.
Agreed. You mentioned ML though, and that's a different matter.

Checking hashes is definitely viable, but only works for known good examples.
