Bullshit. Apple happily censors 1000s of apps for the CCP. https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-data-china-censors-apps-nyt-2021-5?r=US&IR=T
Good on Apple for staying neutral in this situation/event. The fact that Apples overall actions are completely inconsistent is not what is being discussed.
Refusing to help, when you could save a life (without risking your own), is a crime in our country. It's good from financial perspective, although, some ,,woke" campaing might hit them in the future, since they choose to do - nothing. Now imagine, for example, Samsung, - ,,We are blocking (what ever they can) in Russia" Yes, would loose Rus market share, some from CCP, but in the eyes of the rest, the morals of Samsung, would be beyond Apple by far. Easy choice to make then, which phone to choose, since, most, choose emotionally.
Yes. Apple displayed it's "woke" posture a long time ago. For me, as existing Apple products age, they are not being replaced with other Apple products. As you said, easy choice.
I do. And that does not mean agreement and obeisance because someone else doesn't agree. See how that works on all sides? Don't be a useful idiot!!
yea no shit, but exactly WHY is what i am doubting any of us fully understand. War is fucked, I hate it, wish we never again had any, like seriously it has always been the same: peasant class goes and kills and dies in a conflict created by the elite class...where the latter are always the benefactors and enjoy the spoils and the former are always left with serious injury and mental disorders. So fuck anyone who initiates war, including Putin's ex-KGB, crazy, power hungry ass. but all i am seeing on MSM is "Russia man bad, hate him...Ukraine man huge balls, love him". Forgive me for not immediately believing what i see because at this point i am convinced everything from MSM and social media is blatant propaganda. This entire war seems fishy as fuck to me.
Here's a quick blurb about something in the background. As Jerry Garcia said, Choosing between 2 evils is still choosing evil. Nonetheless... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOSCOW : Russian troops have destroyed a concrete dam built in Ukraine's Kherson Region in 2014 to cut off water to Crimea, the RIA news agency quoted the governor of Russian-annexed Crimea Sergei Aksyonov as saying on Saturday. Ukraine cut off the fresh water supply to Crimea by damming a canal that had supplied 85per cent of the peninsula's needs before Moscow annexed Crimea in 2014. The Soviet-era canal was built to channel water from the River Dnieper to arid areas of Ukraine's Kherson region and Crimea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.todayonline.com/world/r...krainian-dam-blocked-water-crimea-ria-1828791
Of course they did. They were a holdout. Netflix, Meta, Google, TikToK, and Twitter already goose-stepped to the EU "request". Look it up.
