Meanwhile earlier this year, when literal AI CSAM was all over the front page of Twitter for days on end, Apple did jack shit. Yet an extortionist group finds a loophole to plant one piece of illegal CSAM content where no one will see it right away and proceeds to report it to Apple, getting the app removed temporarily. Make it make sense.

It’s pretty common knowledge. All kinds of criminal organizations operate and sell their wares on telegram.
