Ha! Thats some nice fan fiction. Look at how Elon is torpedoing himself even further trying to take on ADL(lets be frank they clearly have ties to Israel). It took far right wing people + Elon bringing the issue up to even have a discussion on pushing back against ADL (and now ADL can just say thats just clearly anti-semetic people being anti-semetic) so the issue is already dead. Apple being a public company with many institutional portfolios holding their stock would not survive these portfolios dumping their shares due to pressure if they announced this. This could even be enough to force remove Tim Cook from his role. Why would he take such a drastic position? This rot is at all layers of the western world(UK, Canada, AUS, NZ, France at least). All the way from state governments passing laws saying you cannot boycott Israel or else you'll be barred from contracts(Anti-BDS laws) to congress removing members from their committees if they criticize Israel(eg. Illhan Omar) and signing loyalty pledges to Israel. When ANY new resistance appears against Israel, multiple groups in all of these countries move at light speed to enact a response. The downsides of having these exploits is clearly acceptable to all the people that make the decisions. And it's not like a regular person can use these exploits against members of congress to make them feel the pain. They'll just 'Julian Assange' you. What you are proposing requires massive reform at ALL level of government and across the western world as this is not only a US problem. Good luck with that. This requires changing fundamental beliefs of the majority of people who vote in these governments. They have a special "bond" with Israel and they wont willingly let go of that. You'll be better off just reverse engineering the complete iOS binary and finding every possible exploit.

> It took far right wing people + Elon bringing the issue up to even have a discussion on pushing back against ADL (and now ADL can just say thats just clearly anti-semetic people being anti-semetic) so the issue is already dead. The issue is dead because Elon's grievance is patently absurd. He's accusing the ADL of singlehandedly engineering a 60% drop in Twitter ad sales. It would be genuine comedy were it not for the fact he's handing a megaphone to the worst-of-the-worst groyper kindernazis.

  Thats my point. Pushing back against the ADL is almost impossible and when it finally happens it is associated with these knuckleheads. Therefore it is easy to dismiss...but there are serious abuses done by the ADL (just look up their history) and they now get to skate free.

    You seem to be implying the issue is the messenger and his dimwitted minions, when really it's the message itself. If these guys are as nefarious as you're implying, surely the richest man on the planet could dig up something that's not prima facie absurd?

        Thanks for clarifying. I'm not familiar enough with this organization to either stake a position for or against, but one passing observation based on that wiki page : > Right-wing groups and pundits, including right-wing Jewish groups, have criticized ADL as having moved too far to the left under Jonathan Greenblatt, labeling it a "Democratic Party auxiliary" > In August 2020, a coalition of progressive organizations launched the "Drop the ADL" campaign, arguing that "the ADL is not an ally" in social justice work. The campaign consisted of an open letter and a website, which were shared on social media with the hashtag "#DropTheADL". Notable signatories included the Democratic Socialists of America, Movement for Black Lives, Jewish Voice for Peace, Center for Constitutional Rights, and Council on American–Islamic Relations.[179] The open letter stated that the ADL "has a history and ongoing pattern of attacking social justice movements led by communities of color, queer people, immigrants, Muslims, Arabs, and other marginalized groups, while aligning itself with police, right-wing leaders, and perpetrators of state violence. Always interesting to see entities criticized for being both too far left and too far right.
