Wait, do people think robots use OCR to spy on them? They have access to the actual unicode symbols. They know that an A is an A regardless if it's displayed as Arial, Times New Roman or Wing Dings. Is there a subculture somewhere that people only communicate through text as images?
It might be useful in some countries where the prevalent unencrypted messaging app is preventively scanning every single image before actually delivering it to the recipient, and silently dropping it if some forbidden keywords are found
