Courts in China works just as well/bad as in, say, the US. A specific name doesn't change that.

Blocking something != phone home. This is about censorship, not spying. This is no better or worse than DNS filtering. Besides, it is blocking on things like Al-Qaeda too. It's not some list of Freedom words.

Any phone turned on and used inside the US. Of course the FBI might have to do some paperwork to get the data from the NSA, but not really.

Made in the US is not a good thing as they spy even more than China. A good phone is open source and made outside China and Five eyes.

I think the whole discussion is missing the mark, so much so that I personally tend to believe that is the point. Your electronics spies on you, that's just how it is. The important question is if the data gathered could possibly hurt

Android 7? Then you don't need malware. It will be provided on first boot by multiple parties.

I don't think you understand what is going on here. What you are saying is that iPhones cannot download data containing a list of things to block (or do whatever with) or that Apple cannot push an update. Xiaomi phones are downloading

Zero days are more expensive for Android than for iOS. That says something when Android is much more likely to be used by a target. Android security is broken but it is generally better than what Apple does.

This would be more relevant if HN wasn't getting posts about the same problem with Apple laptops over and over again. In my opinion it is broken in Linux but works better than on Macs.

Sure this is a "win" but just like Apple being pro-privacy it is all PR and only luck that it is a good thing for users too.

>Apple could hypothetically ban all of Epic's accounts forever That is just plain wrong. There's no difference in Apple banning all Epic accounts over this and Apple Banning Microsoft or you for what Epic did. Epic is not one c

Not all businesses that use credit cards are in the broken US system. It's not a widespread problem everywhere.

In the US maybe. I have never in our business seen anything like a chargeback or heard of anyone ever doing something like it. It is a very American problem. Even if people did do so they would be punished quickly. It is only a problem in a

Try not using social media for friends, work, etc. and see how much you got left in a year. I did and there's no doubt many will struggle (lost friends, new job, not possible to have children (of you want them to gave a life or educati

Nothing in your post rings true to me in Denmark but even if it did it is not in any way comparable to the state the US is in.

We passed that point decades ago. It's as insanely stupid as the thought that right to bear arms could stop government.

He is, by more than one. This is no different than the "Russian meddling in our election" BS.

That would make the US more of a pariah than it already is. Already most of the west only follow sanctions imposed by the US screaming and kicking unless it plays into their own agenda.

And many of the same people likely buy iPhones.

I doubt that is true. The loss in the US versus all the money made in Russia and China? A drop in a sea of money. Also not everyone, especially outside the US, sees this as Democracy Vs. Bad regimes. Many see the US and China as equally bad

Well, it's all in the eye of the beholder. As someone living in Scandinavia looking at the US that doesn't look like elections much either. Pick your favourite animal: A: Black horse B: Brown horse Z: Pony

Now you are moving the discussion into Which country have actual free people though. Sure a dictatorship is worse than a "free" country where decades of propaganda has set the tone so people think they are free while they do what

And then we likely have a pure dictatorship with the worlds second biggest nuclear arsenal and thousands of Russians will likely die from things like starvation and being killed by the new regime (or the old while it dies). No-one wins by k
