It’s been common parlance at least since Apple wanted to implement CSAM scanning of all iCloud saved images through a hashing technique. The backlash was so strong Apple now opposes CSAM scanning. This was two years ago-ish.

Why not save money on office space by letting those employees to work from their home?

Because they can’t control them at home.

Think I missed the “actually do it” part, definitely changes the context. I did a bad.

Considering the title and the entire article is in the future tense I’m going out on a limb here and stating that Apple has not yet pulled those products from the UK market.

Just a moment to note that Apple backtracked on all those threats about CSAM scanning and now doesn’t support the technology being implemented.
