    Apple's new photo-scanning feature will scan photos stored in iCloud to
    see whether they match known Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).

    Wow. I'm impressed. I thought there weren't any other adults on this Apple newsgroup, but apparently there are people who also read the news.

    I'm sure the Apple zealots, who only watch Apple's (admittedly brilliant) advertisements for all their news, will follow their classic procedure of

    1. First they will brazenly deny any and all facts they didn't know
    2. When you persist and send them a link - they will NOT click on the
    link as they continue to brazenly deny all facts they don't know
    3. If you persist, they will say that the link doesn't support
    what they "think" you said - and they'll try to deflect that way)
    4. For a while they'll deflect the conversation any way their childish
    brains can think of (usually claiming Samsung made Apple do it)
    5. At some point they're forced to accept the fact but they will
    still childishly claim that the link isn't what you said it was
    6. Then their childish brains will concoct all sorts of excuses
    (usually claiming it's a bug so it's not Apple's fault after all,
    or they often use the excuse that Apple only "thought" about it)
    7. Finally, they'll start calling you vitriolic names because their
    childish brains can't handle any fact about Apple they don't like

    Just watch. They're so childish, they're 100% predictable.

    Apple zealots *hate* that Apple never is what Apple told them Apple was.

    You're impressed because Loser-2 cited an article from 3 years ago that
    is addressing itself to something Apple didn't actually end up doing?
