Let’s try: > Apple knew a supplier was using child labor but took 3 years to fully cut ties (yahoo.com) Apple routinely terminates relationships with suppliers when they identify abusive practices, sometimes they’re slow about it. > Apple's Cooperation with Authoritarian Governments (jessesquires.com) > Apple removes nearly 100 VPNs used by Russians to bypass censorship (elpais.com) Apple obeys local laws > Apple's Browser Engine Ban Persists, Even Under the DMA (open-web-advocacy.org) Apple chooses to maintain control over a specific implementation detail of their platform that a handful of nerds object to. > Apple defined ICE as a "protected class" in blocking anti-ICE apps (boingboing.net) The claim made in this headline is just straight up false. I don’t know, I don’t think their less-than-ideal behaviour is anywhere bad enough to reasonably be described as “evil”. Otherwise, we’re probably all evil. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
