I don't think it is any different than taking a photo of your car engine or gearbox or any such component.

Yep, this is my understanding.

Also, world practice shows that noone ever got into troubles for posting chip pictures, and in 10 years noone ever contacted me to remove any photos.

But companies do get intro troubles for trying to do copycat chip production, although it is not always easy to prosecute.
