How Tim Cook agreed to hand over the data of all Chinese Apple users to the Communist government and allow its servers to be run by state officials in return for being able to do business with Beijing
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The state employees are said to manage servers at its data center in Guiyang and another in the Inner Mongolia region, The New York Times reports

  • That means the government is able to access personal data of Chinese residents

  • Encryption technology used by Apple has also been banned, the report says

  • Apps said to have disappeared include foreign news site and gay dating services

  • Topics banned include Tiananmen Square, independence for Tibet and Taiwan

  • This is all despite Tim Cook's vow to protect civil liberties which saw the release of a controversial new privacy controls in April

  • They require iPhone users to give permission for apps to track their activity

#1 Good. Best way to treat these companies. Keep their influence controlled and their noses to the floor. Every nation state should learn.

#3 Well, Lenin said the capitalists would sell the commies the rope they would hang us with. Guys like Cook will sell everyone around them and cut and run.

#10 Steve Jobs wasn't Steve Jobs. He was in charge when they moved everything to China.

If Steve Jobs was running Silicon Valley in 1975 Steve Jobs wouldn't have been able to get his foot in the door. No assembly line to get that first job with.
