Apple Defends ICE, But Not Your Privacy: Go Figure
Breaking news from Bizarro World: Apple, the company that 'cares' about your privacy, just yanked apps tracking ICE movements. Trump demanded it. And Tim Cook, freedom fighter extraordinaire, said, "How high?" Apparently, protecting your data from intelligence agencies is cool, but letting you know if Border Patrol is setting up camp near your kid's school? That's a bridge too far. Especially if
El Presidente gets a boo-boo mood. This isn't about security; it's about control. Big Tech once prided itself on being above the government's thumb. Now, they're just another extension of it. Who needs privacy when you can have… checks notes… more quarterly earnings? Meanwhile, your tax dollars are funding bombs for Yemen and Israel, but don't you dare try to monitor the domestic forces turning
America into a surveillance state. That's "impeding national security," peasant. So, next time your iPhone reminds you to take a breath, just remember: it's perfectly fine for Apple to know your every move, your heart rate, your deepest, darkest searches. Just don't expect them to help you evade the authorities they're cozying up to. Because privacy is a principle, until a powerful enough
politician calls. Then it's just really good marketing copy.
