It actually seems fairly clear by this point that Apple does not actually give a shit about privacy except as a marketing tool to use in their fight against Google.
They have also shown a willingness to actively work with authoritarian regimes like the CCP to actively remove privacy protections and build out an extremely sketchy supply chain.
- goodSteveramos 4y agoThese are literally not the ways Apple violates the privacy of Americans. My beef with Apple isnt that it fails to assist with US foreign policy.
- mhoad 4y agoNot sure how to take that in a good faith non cynical way.
- goodSteveramos 4y agoI agree that the supply chain security is a problem for Americans like those in the lawsuit. From the perspective of China however, Apple is a foreign company. The US has concerns with tiktok being Chinese owned. China has equally valid concerns with Apple being US based and wants control over its Chinese operations. I dont agree with how the Chinese run their country, but its also not my business. My business is the NSA spying on my family through iCloud backups.
- mhoad 4y agoDoes the NSA have a reason to be spying on you or do you have a reason to think they would be doing that? I can’t tell if this is some hypothetical thing or a real concern.
- goodSteveramos 4y agoIs this a “why do yoy care about privacy, do you have something to hide” argument?
