So for consistency, surely we can read the blog post against similar issues like requiring icloud data locality? Otherwise, we need to be very clear where you're even allowed to publicly disagree or not.
- MBCook 8y agoThis seems like a sort of standard country customization/localization thing that just happened to have a bug in it. However because it’s China and Taiwan it’s a “thing“ because there’s a very heavy political angle. My original comment was meant to point out that Apple isn’t hypocritical here as many people want to claim. They said they’d do the exact same kind of things here if required by US law.
- kodablah 8y ago> They said they’d do the exact same kind of things here if required by US law. Well that's not true. You specifically said "lobbied against" in your post. "Exact same things" would mean exactly the same reticence. That's where the hypocrisy lies.
- MBCook 8y agoBecause it’s not US law yet. In the past they’ve talked to the Chinese government about why they think possible policy X is a problem too. But once it’s a law they lose the choice.
