This sounds interesting, but how do you plan on stopping illegal content being stored on users devices? If there is any chance a user could unknowingly be hosting illegal content that could lead to some very big issues.

I have no idea what this is meant to mean, but thank you for going to the effort of typing that all out XD

Could you give context for us who would rather not go to a facebook site please?

Excuse me, but real programmers use butterflies.

In addition to the other resources people have linked if you are interested in learning more about this type of scam take a listen to
Darknet Diaries episode 141: The Pig Butcher, it is very interesting.

You might be interested in the app URLCheck (fdroid), which shows a popup when you click a link giving you the ability to check and change it before opening it. I dont know if there is anything similar for iphones if you are on one of those.

There are projects that already exist with this sort of purpose, one I came across a while ago was Deep Privacy which uses deepfakes to replace your face and body in an image with one that is AI generated.

If only they disappeared when you got a line
