"Sow confusion, and reap inaction" - common military tactic. If what you're doing is too big to hide, you also cause visible activity in multiple places, so the enemy can't decide where to send reinforcements. The Normandy invasion had quite a bit of that. The enemy was confused for days about where the main attack was hitting, and didn't commit reserves until it was too late.

It's sadly typical of their apologies. The "I'm sorry you feel that way" apology. As a long time customer its beginning to annoy me. You fucked up. Say "we fucked up" and move on.

Let us hope a rollback on this bad idea will remedy the confusion

Are they wrong? It seems like most people don’t understand that Apple was already scanning iCloud Photos on their servers like Google scans Google Photos, they’re just going to be doing it client side now.

I’m not defending Apple, I wish they wouldn’t do this, but I see section 230 levels of lack of understanding out there.
