We should stop complaining about Apple and Google caving in to whatever demand of whatever government. After all, they have great examples in Ford, Hugo Boss, Coca-Cola, Audi and BMW, Deutsche Bank, IBM and others in the 1930s-1940s. They couldn't give two shits about "court of public opinion" or whatever

@daringfireball Man, that was a good take.

@daringfireball yes. this is a moral failing of Apple’s leadership, as were the bribes given personally by Tim Apple. There can be no doubt we’re in an era of the worst moral failures in Apple’s history.

@daringfireball So not a one-off. Apple has removed another app. Seemingly without even a “demand”. So much for“fuck you, make me” at Apple.

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.
