With each iOS release, Apple increases the surveillance boiling temperature.

Bearing in mind how brilliant Apple marketing is, I suspect nospam is partly
correct in assuming Apple planned this very carefully to get them out of the
debacle they were in on their CSAM disaster.

Like the frog placed in the boiling water, Apple realized even the normally
cluelessly gullible Apple customer jumped out of that idiotic CSAM pot.

Apple said then that their "only mistake" wasn't CSAM but that their mistake
was in not bringing the boiling water to boil slowly with _you_ in the pot.

This move to force people onto CSAM just adds the slow boil that they
introduced recently back toward the CSAM surveillance on the iphone.

With each iOS release, Apple increases the surveillance boiling temperature.

How can you work when the system's so crowded?
