That’s only for devices where the region is set as China. Why would it be a moot point elsewhere for that reason?

- tomp 7y agoDifferent places define (in)justice differently.
- justwalt 7y agoBut isn’t morality universal?
- JohnFen 7y agoMorality is defined by culture, so there is no "universal" morality as such. However, there are certain specific things that are included in almost all moral frameworks.
- mensetmanusman 7y ago‘There is no absolute’ (except for this statement) always amuses me.
- cies 7y agoDont know why down voted. Even if someone doesnt care for individuals in other legal zones (sad), the extra injustice Apple is accepting in other legal zones is a clear display of what they are willing to do to you eventually. > Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. So I 100% agree.

- dpau 7y ago"It's not happening in my country" is a naive argument. You might not care if human rights activists and HK protesters are affected. But Apple's actions in China set a precedent for other countries to follow. If a country demands that Apple "comply with local laws" by providing encryption keys or else risk losing access to that marketplace, Apple will comply, regardless of its effect on user privacy.
- newscracker 7y agoThere was no need to misinterpret the comment and write things like '"It's not happening in my country" is a naive argument.' I didn't say that Apple is right to do it in China or elsewhere. I merely pointed out that it's happening in one place and asked why that would make it moot elsewhere. I agree with everything you said except for the phrasing of your first sentence.
