Please cite sources showing Apple "loudly proclaiming how moral" it is.
- babesh 6y agoPlease read more carefully. Tim Cook “ At Apple, our mission has been and always will be to create technology that empowers people to change the world for the better.”

- judge2020 6y agoYour mistake was believing CEOs. The only thing you can count on is the invisible hand of capitalism, and today it requires both: - operating in (wealthy) oppressive regimes - denouncing those same oppressive regimes

- babesh 6y agoCook, though, presented the issue in deeply political terms. He said: "We believe that people have a fundamental right to privacy. The American people demand it, the constitution demands it, morality demands it."
- babesh 6y agoTim Cook: As reported by TechCrunch, he said: "I'm speaking to you from Silicon Valley, where some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information. They're gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it. We think that's wrong. And it's not the kind of company that Apple wants to be."
- babesh 6y agoApparently for Apple, privacy is moral in the US but not in China. Hahahahahahaha! Also not really privacy since your device is backed up to Apple’s servers where they can conveniently hand them over to the US government. That’s right. If you are a citizen of say Germany, does the US government have access to your data?
- onethought 6y agoWhat do they do in China that is different to the US?
- babesh 6y agoThey segregate Chinese data in China and have easy access to it. I wonder if they leave the rest of the world data in the US.
- onethought 6y agoDo they store US data in the US and have easy access to it?
- babesh 6y agoDo they store German data in the US and have easy access to it? Google stored it everyone’s data everywhere and somehow the US had access to ALL of it unencrypted.
- babesh 6y agoThey also are intentionally fuzzy with Americans. Your privacy is important they say. They say that they will fight against government to protect your privacy. What is more important is that they don’t tell you. Your data is backed up onto Apple’s servers and Apple has the key. What I read is that Apple got pushback from the FBI. Don’t hear about the FBI suing Apple for access anymore. Wonder why? Maybe they have all the access they want while Apple can continue to brand itself the privacy moralists. Hahahahaha! https://www.sott.net/article/427853-Backdoored-backup-FBI-barred-Apple-from-offering-customers-encrypted-iCloud-storage https://www.sott.net/article/427853-Backdoored-backup-FBI-ba... The difference is that in the US, Apple pretends to be for privacy whereas in China there are no such pretensions. Also because of greater reach, US companies have access to far more countries and people who are not at all protected by US laws.
