New Mac operating system reportedly will scan your photos and alert cops if it finds anything..."suspicious"

Remember the fuss when Apple announced they were planning to have their software analyze every photo on users' iPhones-- and alert the cops if the software found a suspicious pic?

No?  Wow, what a surprise.  (Not.)

Well, Apple has now reportedly implemented that, only on the new MacOS, not on iPhones.  (Yet.  At least not that we know of.)

They did it without telling anyone.

And you can't turn it off.

Gosh, this seems unusual behaviour for Apple. It's not like they tracked all their users with unencrypted cookies, systematically locked users out of their own systems, or disabled third-party firewalls and network monitors that would let you track such activity.

Oh, wait, they did all those things.
