@randahl It's all about maintaining shareholder value, not morality. If Cook keeps his shares of Apple priced as high as possible, he can continue to borrow against them to satisfy his extravagant lifestyle. Just like all these billionaires do.

@randahl It indeed is. Therefore, I went for Jolla phone.

@randahl @dlundh Yep. Tim Cook = complicit stooge of the administration and representative of the morally-flexible mega-rich.

@randahl I accused Tim Cook of consorting with Leni Riefenstahl, but upon sober reflection, I do not believe that six women came forward to accuse Riefenstahl of using her power as a director to get away with sexual misconduct.

@randahl Not contradicting, but I consider it more important is that Apple is not handing out decryption keys like Microsoft does.

The Apple architecture (as of now) has been built better to withstand government intrusion. It's not perfect and the people are even less so.

So.

This is worse.

I do see how this is worse.
