- cookiecaper 16y agoHow is this relevant to the video? He didn't claim that Apple had any personal information on its users. It sounds like you're bringing up an unrelated point to deflect attention from Apple's actions. That is not appropriate!
- mbreese 16y agoI think what they were trying to say is that Apple isn't necessarily acting like "big brother", and that there are other companies that are potentially more dangerous to you personally. Apple is acting more big brother-ish to their developers than their users... That being said, I'm not sure that the police raiding Chen's home had anything to do with Apple... that's a big leap to make.
- BRadmin 16y agoI don't believe he's giving an opinion about Apple's actions, rather the accuracy of calling them "Big Brother" in light of the fact that other companies maintain a lot more information about their users than Apple does.
- wtn 16y agoYes, the video wasn't working when I tried to view it earlier.

- RyanMcGreal 16y agoThe Big Brother analogy isn't about how much information you collect, it's about how much control you assert.
- stcredzero 16y agoActually, ubiquitous surveillance was a big part of the Big Brother apparatus in 1984.
- RyanMcGreal 16y agoOf course, but the surveillance was mandatory and its purpose was to control the public by identifying, suppressing and silencing nonconformists.
- andr 16y agoApple knows as much about MobileMe users as Google knows about Gmail users.
