Read the analysis I posted just above. . . it’s not Apple Inc’s money that is being donated to the SPLC and the ADL. It’s Tim Cook’s personal funds he’s donating and the FAKE NEWS has conflated it into Apple itself making the donations. Again.
It’s so much better when all these companies just stay out of politics. Surely they know their employees are going to have widely diverse opinions,unless they are indoctrinating them,which is a REALLY bad idea.
Amazing the hoops people jump through to justify their blind Apple loyalty.
What is amazing is the distortions the press makes to news about Apple and the people who swallow it hook, line, and sinker.
Please tell me how a company such as Apple which is prohibited by law can in headlines be accused of making political donations to one camp over another more than any other tech company when ALL their employees do it? The simple and truthful answer is that Apple gets more internet clicks than putting any other company name in the headline. How else do you explain headlines that include Apple on stories that do not even mention Apple in them or Apple is merely an incidental mention in the article and not the main subject????
I've seen it numerous times. It's not a coincidence or an inadvertent error. It's deliberate.
can someone lend me an iPad so I can smash it to bits and send it back to these clowns

I am so mad at our CEOs.
I am too. Did you read what I posted in reply #20 on this thread? Essentially, what is being reported as a donation by Apple Inc, with matching of employee donations also by Apple inc, is anything but that. It is actually personal donations being made by CEO Tim Cook through the Apple Employees' Political Action Committee, an entirely independent entity, searate from Apple inc.
These CEO's speak and allow their voices to be heard as if their personal actions are speaking for the multitudinous voice of the company that employs them. . . as if their persona political opinion were the opinion of the investors and everyone associated with the joint effort comprising their enterprise. Steve Jobs understood this separation. Tim Cook does not.
