This post sounds like a confession that you had CSAM on your machines and because of that switched away from Apple.

(Read what you wrote out loud expanding the acronym)

No. And I don't think CSAM is gone. By demonstrating the capability to the governments, Apple actually created a demand for the technology.

Politico reports that the European Union is planning on announcing a new law requiring tech giants to scan for CSAM. That would leave Apple having to figure out how to comply without reigniting the controversy.

I think the point was that your decision to use the abbreviation for child sexual abuse material as a synonym for Apple’s approach to scanning for it is unusual and potentially confusing. Semantics.
