Apple bravely stands up to the American F.B.I. on encryption, but "I can't imagine the Chinese would tolerate end-to-end encryption or a refusal to cooperate with their police, particularly in a terrorism case." (James Lewis, senior fellow, Center for Strategic and International Studies).
American revolutionaries founded the greatest political system, fulfilling the vision of Plato and Aristotle for the first time in human history. The revolutionary system envisioned by the frontier enlightenment was the wonder of the world. And after multiculturalists get rid of DWMs (Dead White Males) and our civilization crumbles into dust, future ages will still be astonished at what we had.
European-Americans fought Native Americans when they had to, but they revered their cultures, often enshrining them in place names and legends. "Honest Injun" was the highest complement. Now they're "racists".
Chinese revolutionaries committed the greatest genocide in human history against their own people, estimated at 70 million killed by the University of Hawaii Democide project.
Way to go, Apple.
I don’t really understand their logic when they make that comparison.
They assume that Apple would unlock their phones in China, so therefore it should be okay for Apple to do so in the USA as well? I thought America was supposed to hold itself to a higher standard.
Wow, this is groundbreaking. A person or company must act differently in a communist dictatorship than they expect to have to in America?
