US tech companies are effectively intelligence assets anyway. Considering how close the heads of these companies like to stay to trump to buy favor, I can't think of a more valid target for Iran. Trump may not give a shit about anything that doesn't directly impact him, but the tech bros will throw a fit when their shit starts getting broken.
They are they are more then legitimate targets, they're all involved in Israel's killbot fucking kill chain automated decision making bullshit lucrative contracts where they demand these companies put the data centers in their country to get them. US cash of course.
This shouldn't sound so great. What is wrong with the world...
Oh no! What a shame, a damn shame. I would hate for the tech parasites to lose some of their Israeli investments that Israel demamded they put in country for their lucrative killbot, et al dystopian programs.
Apple Store Dubai is about to get its own cloud

"Plz oh plz, don't attack our tuff and mighty tech corporations! Plz don't attack dem I might get a boner and dat would be vewwy bad! Oh plz don't attack dem, Mr. Scawwy Iran, I might cum! I might cum so fucking hard!"
Upvoted but disturbing
"Definitely don't try to blow up our data centers or our Amazon shipping facilities! That would be very bad for us!"
Cool, may I suggest you kick things off by nuking Apple, Amazon, Google and Meta.
If they had nukes, none of this would have happened. 😅
Facebook first, then Amazon, then google then apple.
I NEVER thought I'd put apple last.
hate to say it but I would amazon last because they are kinda handy. X should be numero uno though.
I have $400 of gift cards I'd like to spend first, if they could hold off until Thursday I'd be obliged.
Google first. But fintech too.
hate to hand it to them but they've impressed me lately in the privacy/security space. apple has put itself miles ahead of stock android and microslop when it comes to enshittification of its services and not spying on its users.
of course that's the bare fucking minimum and FOSS is always the best answer, but still, it should be said.
edit: those of you downvoting please enlighten us how much better Google and Microsoft are at handling your data.
Apple used to be the kings of enshittification.
Proprietary forced bloat ware, files getting thrown wherever the fuck they want, consumerism instead of customers, Fischer price designs ,psychotic CEOs.
I have no idea wtf is going on over there, I guess when you hit rock bottom and drag everyone else down with you, you get to shock people when you start climbing out.
As someone who just updated from 17 to whatever it’s on now due to that security vulnerability (and who used android prior to this piece of shit), they are definitely still getting worse.
Autocorrect got substantially worse between versions, to the point that I can’t get a single message without a misspelled word that it doesn’t even try to fix, a misspelling that it corrects to something completely different, or it corrects the right word to something else (I’ve turned it off entirely, it’s now actively worse than nothing..). The ui is unusable for me without accessibility options to remove transparency to get rid the bright glassy nonsense they did and change it to ugly gray boxes (headaches exacerbated by bright stuff in my face, ugly was my only option and that fucking sucks because it worked -and looked- fine before..). They also haven’t bothered to fix the glitch in night mode where touching the text entry field makes it glow bright gray (speculated they used the light mode effect by accident), a problem which has apparently been around since 18 first dropped in ‘24. Some phones, like mine, have a glass backplate they don’t go out of their way tell you is glass, which shatters if you nick the glass tubes around the camera that sticks out a foot.. why so much fucking glass? Is it to kill resale value? I bet it is!
Plus all the stuff you said. Also I don’t believe them that they support user privacy. Why would they when they can pretend to and still get the money?
My friend has always been on iOS and updates it whenever updates are out, and didn’t notice the creep of how bad it was, but slamming from 17 up to current was almost as much of a shock as moving to iOS in the first place, as far as reduced usability goes.
As soon as moto drops a graphene compatible device I’m getting one and never looking back.

motorola hasn't been killing it but, they've been doing fantastic. Like the last ~10 phones we bought have been the basic ass motorola , because it's cheap, doesn't come with bloat, and works fairly reliably. We're fucking clutzes and drop it, break screens or lose them. I'm really glad that our spending habits led to them funding the ability to sell the graphene OS phone.
I guess everyone else learned the playbook and started beating them at it
Don't forget Microsoft
no place for a racist maga billionaire in your list?
As an American, I say let's fucking go!
Fuck, are they trying to make me fall in love with them or what?!
April 1st... So do we believe them or....
I dunno - I'm headed to Snopes to find out
Iran Threatens to Attack U.S. Tech Companies Starting April 1
Oh thats like weeks away right?

What was that about national security and bringing those jobs back stateside?
Well, the jobs would still be there.
