People have this old fashioned myth that an image is an array of pixels on your screen. When it has been turned into a spy device that has five different kinds of hidden codes we know about, plus secret watermarks and crap we don't, from who knows how many pieces of hardware and software. Not to mention way more resolution, apparently, than is needed to read the label on a package of cheese.

For all that, we get pictures that you can't paste from one web browser window to another without them turning black and losing features. Because, like "phones", the thing they are supposed to do is such a low priority, behind so many spies in line, that they are gradually losing the ability to do it at all.
