- sandstrom 9y agoI'm saying that this is a weak argument: Apple complies with law in countries where it operates. Instead one should value the act itself: Is it right or wrong to aid in restricting ~1b people's access to knowledge and information about their government's past deeds[1], current affairs[2], corruption[3], etc. I think it's wrong, other may think it's right. But saying they're following local laws is similar to saying that someone is just respecting German WW2-laws on Jews or apartheid in South Africa. --- [1] Tiananmen Square [2] Food safety (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal) [3] High-official corruption (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/26/world/asia/china-blocks-web-access-to-new-york-times.html http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/26/world/asia/china-blocks-we...)
