      Apple is about making money. If honesty and integrity do not increase profits, they will be discarded.

          They all do until it affects profits.

          Corporations are legal people but they are all literal psychopaths. They will do or say anything to keep the profits rolling and the real humans mean nothing to them.

          We are nothing but a means to an end and that end is profits.

          Yep. He references issues both in the past and present that tie directly into this film they’re promoting, yet they censored all this out while pretending like they give a shit about these causes because they put it into a for-profit movie they created.

          Looking like they care about “privacy” and “issues” is purely accidental.

        Well, yes. There have been a lot of reasons to dislike Apple but censorship was not one of them.

          You must not be aware then that Apple gladly removes VPN apps from the Chinese app store to continue selling their phones there

            VPN services are illegal in China. Apple doesn’t “gladly” remove the apps but they can’t just not comply with the law. But Apple has helpfully built VPN support directly into the operating system. Once you get the configuration stuff from your provider, you can set it up in the Settings app. Apple did the bare minimum of legal compliance by removing the apps, but also made it so you don’t need the apps in the first place.

      Tbf, it’s the same rant Bobby always gives and they were probably hoping to skip it as well as keep their ceremonies moving.
