Apple working for Xi


Matt

Recommended Posts

Apple has rolled out an update for Iphones in China that limits air-drop capabilities.  Protestors were using Air Drop to share files and information without going through the Great Firewall.

Apple also threatening to pull Twitter from the App Store over "free speech" concerns.

Jobs would be turning in his grave if he knew his tech was being used to silence speech, especially dissent against dictatorial regimes.

FUCK Apple...

This is just like Elon Musk promoting earlier this year that some control over Taiwan be transferred to Beijing. It’s all about money. 

No equivalency between Musk's comments and Apple helping the CCP suppress protests.

The fundamentals are all the same. It’s all about not wanting to lose billions of dollars. Apple and Musk both suck. Apple claims to be about privacy and Musk says he’s for free speech. If apple was for free speech they wouldn’t be doing this. If Musk was for it he wouldn’t have tried to wiggle out of the twitter deal. Equivalency be the same.

If the twitter board had grossly misrepresented the company then Musk could’ve had a contractual dispute. He didn’t have the evidence and was stuck with the pig.

Why do you always try to make a thing something its not?  i state some facts as i understand them and you think i worship someone..          our fucking president said he is afraid musk may be a national security risk.  they are afraid of information being freely circulated.  so yes,  they ARE afraid.

Perhaps you should state the real problem, fuck Xi.   Pretty simple what went down.  1.4 Billion people in China.  Xi states pull air drop or you can't sell here.  Biggest market in the world.  On top of that they are a critical supplier of parts thanks to the stupidity of American businesses meaning they can cripple the rest of their market as well.  This is not part of some global elite plan, but a very solitary solution for the shit show that is China.

Yes. It's all about profit. Apple and hundreds of other companies have sold themselves to the devil.
