    This is also why I am gradually untying myself from the Apple ecosystem, and all of propriety/big tech; especially US based.

    When push comes to shove capitalism will not resist fascism. They will ignore all stated virtue signals and choose profits.

      The alternative is Google which is way worse if you ask me. At least Apple doesn’t touch your data, Google will absolutely record every bit of activity on your phone and use it with extreme prejudice to feed you ads and sell you shit you don’t need.

        Those were always a virtue signal. Every C suite, board member, and senior executive of every multinational are anointed by the plutocracy. Probably for every billion dollar company. They know how to play ball and the only allegiance they hold is to the almighty dollar. It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.
