  And especially Apple, who handed over iCloud keys [1] and an iMessage keyserver to a company in the direct control of the Chinese government, allowing unfettered surveillance of Chinese users' email, calendars, documents, and even non-Chinese users' iMessage communications [2] with Chinese users. Yahoo! was once raked over the coals for being a tiny fraction as evil.

    Let us not for a minute forget Google's Dragonfly Project. It's actually quite concerning that Google has refused to work on DoD projects but continues to work in China.

      Dragonfly could hypothetically launch at some point in the indefinite future, assuming Google's employees don't continue to protest it. Apple has already given the iCloud keys to the PRC without a whimper from any Apple employees. Both are bad, but one is many orders of magnitude worse because it is already actually implemented and causing harm.
