I can imagine in the app/phone settings "allow nudes only from contacts" or a whitelist something? I get on Tumblr all the time unsolicited shit, not necessarily bad looking but no thanks I can take care of myself.

It should be called the Ministry of Truth at this point.
> Unwanted
How do you know if a nude is unwanted? The premise itself makes no sense. The only way this could potentially work is if you had the whole context of the relationship somehow embedded in the messages and then if you deciphered the intent behind the messages. Even then what about sarcasm or double entendre?

If the app has sufficient permissions to infer user demographics a sufficiently jaded person should be able to come up with a set of rules that get you a 99% solution pretty easily.
In the future, phones will refuse to take pictures of dicks unless men register their height and income levels so that useful and relevant information can be added to the image metadata.
