   You're just showing your ignorance now.   
      
   1. There was a proposed Apple system for checking images that were to be   
   uploaded to Apple's iCloud system for photos and videos. That checking   
   was going to take place ON THE PHONE and it was only going to compare   
   images to KNOWN CSAM images. That system is what your "article" is   
   talking about.   
      
   2. That system was never actually implemented.   
      
   3. Long after that, someone noticed a network connection made by a piece   
   of software called "mediaanalysisd" (media analysis daemon) to an Apple   
   server, but that connection:   
      
   a. Was a GET that never actually sent any information TO the server.   
      
   b. Was clearly a bug, as it was removed during an OS update.
