Headline should read, “Apple Offers Apps With Ties to Nearly Every Major Military On Earth”
technology crowd: "damn apple and their closed ecosystem!"
technology crowd: "damn apple and their ecosystem not being closed enough!"
Authoritarian sheep: “Apple must provide backdoors into their software.”
Authoritarian sheep a week later: “Apple is providing backdoors into their software to any nation that asks politely! 😭”
“Let the free market rule. Let’s consider corporations super citizens that have limitless influence on governments.” ::newly ominpotent corporation does something that doesn’t benefit them::. “No not like THAT!”
