Apple should stop acting as a BigBrother. Let the courts determine what is illegal in their own countries. The Telegram app itself has nothing wrong. 

Are you fucking serious? Apple has clear rules for their app store -- no app shall be used to distribute child pornography. Period. If this is upsetting to you then you're fucked in the head. (And note that Safari doesn't distribute web content, it browses it, which is why they wouldn't pull Safari if someone used it to browse child porn).

Go peddle your FUD nonsense on an Android site, as you're clearly from outer space on every discussion you've contributed to here. You hate Apple, we get it. Tell your handlers you tried but no one on AI wanted to listen to you.

Just for the sake of argument, given what you state, if I email someone child porn pictures using the Outlook app that I got from the app store, should Apple remove the Outlook app?  What about any other email app or messaging app that can actually SEND content?  

"The Telegram apps were taken down off the App Store because the App Store team was alerted to illegal content, specifically child pornography, in the apps,"

So if I downloaded the app, I was getting child porn?  I don't think so.  There may be content that was accessible by using the app, but the illegal content wasn't IN the app.

That statement is just all sorts of wrong.

And yet they completely f'ed up macOS Server, and there's not a single Mac in the current product lineup that's really suitable for server use.

Apple is schizophrenic. 

What company would ever use macOS Server in today's world? There's no need to. Most companies that have Macs and/or iOS devices use an MDM such as Jamf Pro to mange them, and on the Mac side, there's also imaging tools so you don't need macOS Server for that. They more than likely already have Active Directory accounts so Open Directory isn't necessary. Advanced File Sharing is already built into macOS High Sierra along with Advanced Time Machine backups. I guess Apple could build Netboot into macOS 10.14 and then really you don't need Server for anything else. 

Most companies that use something like Jamf Pro have it on a Windows Server, not a Mac Server. I, myself do use it on a 2014 Mac mini and it runs fine and I use Time Machine backup to back it up to a NAS server. 

Apple stopped selling Xserves because basically they didn't sell so it wasn't worth it for Apple to keep investing into Xserve. 

Small shops use macOS server for other things than MDM or imaging.  They still need file sharing, user accounts, file/folder permissions (which fail miserably on macOS server), etc.  I suppose they could move to Windows Server but macOS server is still useful for that if not used for anything else.

So now you've got a fresh install of Sierra.  What about your apps and data that were supposedly backed up?  Would it have been easier if one had a Time Machine backup of Sierra, to have done a restore from that instead? 

This just seems like a last ditch effort to get back to Sierra with tons of work involved putting the pieces back together.

Now we can burn through our data plans in a few minutes time. NEAT! Still will have the same low amount data plans. 5G really not worth it.

I've tried, but cannot figure out how people think that faster service will use MORE data?  A movie is a fixed amount of data, whether you get it downloaded in 2 minutes or 2 hours.  A website contains a fixed amount of data, too.  Everything you do is a fixed amount of data and that amount of data won't change just because you have faster service.  

If you use your phone data service to download torrents all day, then I can possibly see how you'd use your plan data faster, but people don't do that.   Maybe you have nothing better to do than watch endless Youtube videos every day until your data is depleted?  Then, yes, you would consume all your data faster.

But for everyone else, we will generally use the same amount of data as we do each month.  Analogy--the city triples the size of the water main coming into your water meter at your house.  Are you going to consume 3x more water because the pipe in the street is bigger?
