This is indeed how I read the comment you replied to.
- notepad0x90 1y agoI read it as saying apple's leadership is complicit and cooperating like Google's and Microsoft's have been.
- andrewflnr 1y agoThe phrase "someone inside Apple" doesn't really connote top leadership. To me at least it resonates more with "insider threat". If they meant it was corporate policy, they would have just said "Apple". And as you said it's rather implausible to start, so I don't know why that would be your first interpretation. :)
- notepad0x90 1y agoI took "inside apple" to be "inside apple leadership" but your interpretation is valid as well, and it's one i agree with.
