Trust Big Tech at your own peril. These spineless jellyfish will sell out anyone at any price.


Apple Inc has largely ceded the control over the personal data of its Chinese users to the Chinese government, and it has complied with the Chinese law to remove tens of thousands of apps deemed offensive by Beijing from its Chinese app store, an investigation by The New York Times has shown.

Of all US tech giants, Apple relies the most on the Chinese market. Tim Cook, the CEO, has largely moved Apple’s production to mainland China. The mainland, together with Hong Kong and Taiwan, is the third largest market for Apple, helping to make it one of the most valued companies in the world.

If they want to have a market in China, then they should comply with Chinese law. Same for if they want to do business in Sri Lanka or Brazil. It is fundamentally no different than having to have California blend gas or meet their emissions standards.

Would you expect Apple to break the laws of the US too?
