“In the meanwhile, Tim Cook moves Apple Cloud to Communist China.”

I had to Google that one. It sounds crazy!

Yes, Apple has Cloud services in China, but only for Chinese customers. Those in America ... Apple is using US-based cloud services.

Now the faggot speaks up? He’s known all along what social media does and has spoken up very little about it.

“Apple’s 180-acre iCloud plant in North Carolina is powered by 200 acres of solar panels.”

Which are an environmental disaster since they require far more resources to produce than they will ever produce in electricity.

Haha!

Oh and you believe that?

Then I have beach front property in Kansas to sell you.

China is the world’s number 1 hackers. It well known.

It’s well known to anyone within the industry.

I am not an Apple product buyer, but Apple has a good track record of protecting their customer’s privacy.

Apple users with iCloud accounts registered in China will now have their data hosted by the GCBD center.

I don't have an iCloud account registered in China. Do you? Stupid if you do.

Not saying I agree with using solar generation in large-scale applications. I don't. When saying solar generation is zero-emission, the supporters do not take in account the need for oil to mine, produce, and transport as well as use standard equipment (which use oil) to install the solar equipment. Solar is not zero-emission, far from it.

Yes, I do believe that.

In order to do business in China, Apple was required to keep their cloud servers in China for Chinese customers.

Apple has server farms in Oregon, North Carolina, California, and Nevada for its US customers. No need to use the servers in China when they’ve got such robust and dependable servers in the the US.

All that said, *IF* Apple ever stored my data on computers in China, I would share your concern. I have no confidence in the security of China-based servers.

This reminds me of the joke:

Q. How fast do you need to be to out-run a bear that is chasing you?

A. You just need to be able to run faster than the guy behind you.

:-)
