That is not the argument I made. The argument was that if they could be corrupted we should assume they are already corrupted. And since they already have control over the device an already corrupted Apple could have been spying on you already. It isn’t excusing their behavior. It is pointing out the naïveté of the current outrage.
- fsflover 5y agoPerhaps you are right that the outrage should have come much earlier. I myself avoided Apple since a long time. However, it's better late than never. I'm glad people are finally waking up. See also: https://stallman.org/apple.html https://stallman.org/apple.html and https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/apple https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/apple.
