Apple's P.R. is very effective at painting their totalitarian lust for control over their platform as a pro-user, pro- freedom stance, when in reality they are very much like China in their tenets.
when faced with an adversary they simply cannot manipulate into submission, like they do to Western democracies, they cower and roll over to the side of money.
When Apple's fanatical fans defend their actions as "complying with Chinese law", they're merely regurgitating the messaging Apple's Juggernaut of a P.R. machine has programmed them with.
- rahuldottech 7y agoNot sure why this comment is being being downvoted. While the phrasing could be better, the point stands. It's frankly ridiculous that people are fighting for their democracy in a country, but Apple won't allow them to install an app that can help them track police activity. These are thousand dollar devices, that these people OWN, but on which they still can't install the apps they choose. Honestly, fuck Apple for this. It makes me so angry to see this BS.
