Sure, but when you make blistering attack on "data industrial complex" and advocate privacy, you are held to the golden standard in the entire world.
I personally believe that Apple complied to Chinese government's demands is because their bread and butter is in that country (the entire manufacturing of hardware devices).
- hellofunk 8y agoSounds like you are suggesting Apple should have simply stopped doing any business in China. Simple, right?
- kodablah 8y agoAs simple as asking a company built on data collection to stop collecting it. Maybe simpler.
- parthdesai 8y agoNo, just observing the hypocrisy in their pro-privacy statements. Or is it that privacy of Chinese users is not worth the same as that of wester users?
- fhood 8y agoi.e. they don't have a choice?
- parthdesai 8y agoSo, maybe don't say hypocritical statements like this? Google's and Fb's core business is ad-tech. Do they have a choice when it comes to data-collection? (I say this as someone who has uninstalled both Messenger and Fb app)
- cicero 8y agoOkay, Apple caved to save their bread and butter; I'm not nominating Apple for corporate sainthood. However, they are not building a business model based on exploiting our data. They should get credit for that and be allowed to point out the problem with that kind of business.
- tomnipotent 8y agoDo you follow the laws of foreign countries when you travel, even though you live somewhere else?
- justtopost 8y agoNot if they are immoral.
- parthdesai 8y agoIf they are that immoral to you, you can just choose not to visit that country. Edit: Would you go and visit North Korea on a vacation with your family?
