Its a genuine concern for miners and people who use a wallet which downloads the full blockchain instead of electrum etc. This is because there is that 1 actual pic on the blockchain (not the links). These people will now have a picture of child porn on their hard drive. Possession of a copy of a child porn is always illegal no matter what. It is one of the few laws where possession establishes the entire crime and not intent. For instance if a child you dont even know randomly sends you a nude pic you are automatically guilty.
no there is no picture, there is only hashes on the blockchain. in facts it is only 80 bytes max data which you then have to decipher and then follow it until you get to a picture.
this is just the media doing a widespread attack on bitcoin with certain pre-created content that they keep on releasing on fixed intervals to keep pushing the price down by creating panic in the market. and that is not even new. this news came out back in 2013
https://www.dailydot.com/business/bitcoin-child-porn-transaction-code/ or in other words when we had one of the bigger bubbles in bitcoin from $10 to $250 (2400%) and price was falling afterwards. now price had another bubble from $1000 to $20000 (1900%) and is now falling again and the same bullshit news is coming out.... hmmm...
on the same topic, this is interesting example from bitcoin.com (

Asserting that there is child pornography on the blockchain would be like strolling through the U.S. Capitol Building, dropping a scrap of paper containing a deep web address, and then claiming that the American government is storing obscene content.
