It's a shame this is being downvoted. It is not a trivial or "just politics" issue. Apple is aligning itself with entities that undermine human rights, democracy, and equality.
Economic choices reflect values, and choosing not to support businesses tied to oppressive systems is a means of accountability, not mere political disagreement.
- mardifoufs 2y agoHow is that surprising? Apple had no problems aligning itself with the previous administration either, even though it supported and encouraged a genocide for almost half of its existence, almost unconditionally. I mean I agree that we should also criticize corporations that aligned with the previous administration too, but it's curious how these types of comments only pop up on threads like these instead. I guess for a lot of Americans, owning twitter, being a complete right wing moron on twitter, and supporting the other side is more despicable than providing almost every bomb and every bullet that led to a genocide in Gaza. As long as they have "care about democracy" and have the right tone, I guess ?

- Tepix 2y agoIt's not just Apple, it's all of silicon valley kissing the new administrations ring. These companies are worth billions. They don't have to do it. It's disgusting to see greed trumping values.
