In a way, we are just witnessing and commenting on the survival needs and actions of different entities, beit a country, laws, finance, companys, groups, religions or individuals. They all have different needs for their survival and this is just one story on one entity and the interactions of those involved like the courts, law, Apple, NSO, The Press, consumers or users, Judges, Govts, administrations, etc etc. AFAIK there is not a country on this planet that does not believe in sky faeries in one form or another (?Antarctica?), likewise we generally all eat the same things, with minor regional differences, similar practices and needs so until you can get the main users ie humans to increase their intelligence and knowledge, it would seem this planet is stuck in a slowly evolving pattern of operation which still has various self destruct risks, some easily quantifiable others not. The problem still remains, Apple have massaged the Ego of many via advertising and functionality creating this walled garden. Russia telling 13 mostly US tech companies has already been done by the EU with servers having to be located in the EU, so the EU has led the way on that issue apart from the obvious US data gathering in the first place by building the services and tech! To me its just survival of the fittest of entities and whether cultures/country's are now holding back some of these entities which can then come back and bite the culture and country into non existence. When is an action a Zerohedge?
