To further suppress your constitutional rights, Apple pushes forth a new plan without your consent—scan your devices and cloud storage for what they deem inappropriate. To sugarcoat the initiative, they play on people’s psyche with the narrative of child protection. But this isn’t the end game or the main reason behind the new policies. Apple works lock-step with the Biden regime as they not only plan to profile and classify each person but also remove end-to-end encryption for messaging on user devices. No more privacy as Big Tech surveillance goes mainstream.
Apple is replacing its industry-standard end-to-end encrypted messaging system with an infrastructure for surveillance and censorship, which will be vulnerable to abuse and scope-creep not only in the U.S., but around the world.
Greg Nojeim, Co-Director of CDT’s Security & Surveillance Project
But the danger lies in their machine-learning algorithms, which have low accuracy rates and prone to errors. This recent move isn’t about protection. It’s about censorship.
What can this mean for your future with Apple? If they find an image or text message they declare improper, the authorities alerted, and your arrest imminent.
Yet, back in 2020, when then president Trump asked for the passwords for those who attacked the Navy in Florida in 2019, Apple refused. When the FBI requested access to the iPhones of the Islamic terrorist who killed 14 and injured 22 in San Bernardino, they again denied the request.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, made it clear a back door into any device would undermine privacy and encryption for all their users. He went on and stated, if this access fell into the wrong hands, every device compromised by those with the “master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks.”
The bottom line, in 2021, Apple doesn’t care about your kids. It’s about the guarantee you never fall out of line with the narrative that BigTech, the RINO’s and the DNC set forth.
And in case you forgot, Apple used its power to delete a platform from its App Store that didn’t align with their political agenda. When the election scene heated and mainstream media companies such as Twitter and Facebook banned conservatives, Apple joined the fun. They removed Parler from their store, which revoked iPhone users’ ability to engage via the mobile app ([[@starnesAppleThreatenedKick2019|Starnes, Todd. 2019]]). With a flip of a switch, these tech corporations remove your freedom. And as Noam Chomsky puts it,
It’s ridiculous to talk about freedom in a society dominated by huge corporations. What kind of freedom is there inside a corporation? They’re totalitarian institutions – you take orders from above and maybe give them to people below you. There’s about as much freedom as under Stalinism.
Noam Chomsky
These Silicon Valley communists push Chinese-style censorship on American citizens without warrant. It’s time we all fight back. Cease the use of their services and hit them where it hurts, their pocketbooks.
The only line between communism and freedom in the United States is we, the people. Unless you take a hard stand now, you will live the rest of your days on your knees. There are more of us than them, so never forget we can win if we choose to stand.
