Interesting that Apple is so concerned with the Texas abortion law, but has no qualms using sweatshop labor, or maintaining offices in China. The Texas abortion law is bad, but it does not begin to compare to the human rights violations of China, including an active holocaust against the Uyghurs and other Muslims.

You’re getting downvotes, which is unfortunate. The only logical conclusion from this is that Apple has (correctly) decided to take a position on this. Unfortunately, by doing so, they’ve invalidated the typical justification for not speaking up on Chinese atrocities against their own marginalized citizens. Barring a more detailed explanation, the only conclusion that you can draw is that they (again, correctly) disagree with how the state of Texas treats it’s citizens, but agree with how China treats it’s citizens.

  > the only conclusion that you can draw is that they (again, correctly) disagree with how the state of Texas treats it’s citizens, but agree with how China treats it’s citizens. This is hardly the only conclusion you can draw. Another is that Apple (correctly imo) sees that they have a lot of influence over the law in Texas, and none at all in China.

    Which is perhaps the worst of all the things...

  This is reductionist nonsense. I can easily imagine scenarios where Apple disagrees with China treats its oppressed citizens, but chooses not to speak out against them.

Texas should pass a law declaring unborn children are legally Uyghurs, and thereby render them invisible to Apple.
