If you're going to take an "I'll not support Apple cause it complies with Chinese law" position, the ill respect your stance if you stop consuming all Chinese made products. Unless of course you're position is a deeply selective one.

Tech companies must play a long political game and spend their vast fortunes to lobby, to own media and influence policy and control the message.

Once they do this the will no longer be in conflict with governments and their policy.

They will of course do this and then the real problem will not be uppity governments but mega tech corporations who semi covertly run the world.

Bayee does a great job of filtering spam but it drives me nuts that obvious spam still appears in my inbox.
