Saying the crop is a porn photo is like saying homeopathy has an active ingredient because "the water remembers".
Except that people do, in fact, remember. Sure, if society gets destroyed and future archeologists find the cropped photo and that's all that remains of it, it's not a porn photo any more. But for now, people know where it came from. That matters.
Edit: typos, clarity
... By that logic, you are now touching a porn device, since these pixels below are clearly pornography.
I mean obviously this is a porn device, it has access to the Internet. How is that relevant? One's personal devices are exactly where one's porn should be, not in an academic paper about image processing.
