And you have evidence that the inclusion of such an image in a bulk
archive, which is present in a merely passive manner, runs afoul of
this provision?

It seems to me that a hostile workplace is not created by the presence
of an archive or a single image in that archive.

But if you have a legal opinion to offer on this question, I would be
glad to hear it.
