   Well, everyone who has photos that Google, Apple and Facebook can 'see',   
   have been violated, and as far as we know, there have been zero convictions   
   based on those reports by Apple, Google and Facebook.   
      
   Since you lack a normal IQ, which is why you don't have a formal education,   
   you need to understand that I didn't say people aren't convicted, JR.   
      
   I said there's no evidence presented that the reports by Apple, Google and   
   Facebook resulted in any convictions (so we have to assume it's zero).   
      
   The problem here, as any intelligent adult can instantly comprehend, is if   
   the conviction rate based on the reports is 1%, is it worth the privacy   
   violation of millions, nay, billions of people by Apple/Google/FB?   
      
   At what percent conviction rate is the loss in privacy worth it?   
   1% ?   
   2% ?   
   3% ?   
   5% ?   
   8% ?   
      
   Note the fact the articles blamed Apple and yet they omitted the most   
   important metric is a hint that they know the conviction rate is dismal.   
      
   Because nobody is that stupid to not ask what the conviction rate is.
