I think this wins a prize for simultaneously useless and creepy idea of the day. Congratulations.

But really, was this meant to be a joke? Is my sarcasm detector not working today? That's an honest question. If it was serious, do you know that wouldn't do anything for this scenario--if there's an untracked format for images, which there is, then people can continue to use that when providing images of crimes. They're already using Tor hidden services a lot. They can figure out how to download an old version of a program so they can open the formats, and they would only have to do that if the new format was actually made mandatory.
