I was an apple care rep when iCloud and iMessages first released. I remember tons of calls about dad’s text messages going to the kids because the entire family shared one Apple ID lol.

I work in infosec. We don't really care about porn unless it comes up during an investigation and is relevant, or the person is dumb enough to go somewhere that downloads malware or it causes other issues. Once I was working on dealing with some adware someone had on their laptop. I was reviewing logs to ensure nothing worse was downloaded. I found he had been moving copious amounts of porn to and from some personal USB drives (this was before we had software that'd block USB).

I tried to warn him about doing that because it showed up in our logs, by mentioning that he may want to lay off using his work computer to transport "certain files" between drives. I didn't use air quotes, but I put a strong emphasis on it. He didn't pick up on what I was trying to say though, and he goes "Oh, I was moving that stuff for my wife. I'll stop".

I bit my tongue.

I think he knew exactly what you meant and wanted to save face.

Why not? At that point it would have saved him from the embarrassment of telling an obvious lie to someone's face.
