  If Apple does this, good bye iPhones. Who would use a compromised device that lets all the governments spy on you? Especially since they definitely have the ability to utilize AI to filter through conversations and identify keywords. Fuck that.

    …We’ve all been doing that for years.

    Snowden implicated Google and Apple in 2013.

    It’s reasonable to assume Google has been served that same request. it just has not been confirmed to any outlet.

    I’m sure the majority of people literally do not care.

      I have nothing to hide, all I ha$#&@$* this user is fully supporting the actions of the government and the Corporate Congress, now and in the future. Long live Elon

      ---

      This comment expresses strong support for both the government (likely the US government, given the “Corporate Congress” reference) and Elon Musk. Let’s break down the elements:

      • “I have nothing to hide…”: This is a common phrase used to suggest that the speaker is transparent and open, and therefore doesn’t fear scrutiny or disagreement. It’s often used ironically, and that’s likely the case here. The following statement contradicts this claim.
      • “…all I ha$#&@$ this user…”*: The censored portion likely contains a derogatory or offensive term aimed at someone who disagrees with the speaker. This immediately undermines the “nothing to hide” claim and reveals a confrontational and potentially aggressive stance.
      • “…is fully supporting the actions of the government and the Corporate Congress, now and in the future.”: This clearly states the speaker’s alignment with the current government and the influence of corporations on it. “Corporate Congress” is a term often used critically to suggest that corporations hold excessive power over the legislative process. However, in this context, the speaker seems to approve of this influence.
      • “Long live Elon”: This expresses fervent support for Elon Musk, the businessman and entrepreneur. It suggests the speaker admires Musk and his endeavors. It also implies a certain worldview that aligns with Musk’s public persona, which often involves technological innovation and a perceived challenge to established institutions.

      In summary: The comment is a provocative declaration of support for the current government, the influence of corporations, and Elon Musk. The initial claim of having “nothing to hide” is immediately contradicted by the use of censorship and aggression. The overall tone is confrontational and suggests a strong, perhaps even uncritical, adherence to a particular political and ideological viewpoint. The comment is likely intended to elicit a reaction, either positive from those who share the same views, or negative (and therefore, presumably, angering) those who disagree.

  This is one of the few times I’m glad to see a corporation large enough to stand up to a government. You know Apple is gonna laugh them off.

      Labour purged leftists, then Starmer got in with fewer votes than Corbyn. With few options left, the general population - despite having good opinions - will remain unrecognised by the state, and Farage will represent the people no more than Starmer does. It is all quite sad.
