Talk about “reversing victim and offender.”
Report ice agents in Apple Maps. Flood their staffed resources.
Stop buying their products. Unsubscribe from services.
this person know how to fuck a capitalist 🐸
deny that parasite profit and engagement.
control your consumption.
But Apple’s justification went further. “Information provided to Apple by law enforcement shows that your app violates Guideline 1.1.1 because its purpose is to provide location information about law enforcement officers that can be used to harm such officers individually or as a group,” the company wrote in its removal notice.
which is completely devoid of logic… by that standard, their maps app is telling me were all the “insert thing some crazy people hate here” and therefore putting them at risk of harm
Don’t like bakeries?.. find where they are on Apple maps
Don’t like comic book shops?.. find where they are on Apple maps
Don’t like hair salons?.. find where they are on Apple maps
NO HOMO, BUDDY
I can’t boycott Apple anymore than I already do.
apple, google, meta, amazon they are all complicit brownshirt fucks! MAY DAY
REVOLT!!
Well now I’m just whole hearted fucked here. I abandoned Google because their CEO bent over willingly for Trump. I figured, Apple is shit but at least they are not as bad as Google.
Surprise surprise Devolution, you fucking tool.
…eh?..
“Scoop”? Maybe I will wait for other sources to confirm this then.
Ok, here’s a trusted source with a similar report, but nothing about “protected class”.
The more that Apple does this sort of thing, the more likely valuable engineering employees are going to start looking for other jobs. Not a smart move, Tim.

Yeah but then Apple gets to have MAGA engineers (rich people’s kids) who are the best, maybe ever. Ask the citrus Caesar himself, I’m sure he’d agree.
I hope Apple Fanbois finally snap out of it with this one… but I doubt it
Snap out of what to do what, exactly?
Snap out of the Apple reality distortion field… and stop believing this company somehow is not like all others: just a psychopathic entity with insatiable greed
Ok I’m snapped out.
Now what am I supposed to do, again?
ETA: I don’t think Apple is some benevolent entity. I just think they make good hardware and software. I think they’re more privacy focused than Google. I think I can still expect software of there’s to function in a few years.
Yeah the walled garden sucks for user freedom. Yeah it all costs more than it should. Yeah Tim Apple is a bootlicker.
Google is barely better on these points, and seems to be trying to lock it all down while feeding the AI slop machine as much as possible.
I don’t have time to deal with GrapheneOs let alone some wack Linux homebrew phone.
And let’s not even get started on Microsoft.
So until somebody figures out how to resurrect WebOS or something else worth a damn on mobile, I guess I’ll stick with iPhone and macOS.
almost literally anything but
hittingsitting back downEnglish is my first language but I don’t know what this means.
auto correct strikes again
The ones who care about anything else but style and prestige have „snapped out“ of it a long time ago. Even people covering Apple news who have previously been very biased are now becoming more and more critical about Apple as a company and especially Tim Cook.
The question is, where to go instead? Google sucks ass much more. You can only choose between two if you want anything useable for a non-nerd.
People also keep using Instagram and Whatsapp but no one believes Meta is a great company. And these are even either completely useless (Instagram) or at least easily replaceable (Whatsapp to Signal).
I guess it’s because they removed the ICE tracking app. They made them protected because we can’t track them with an app now.
2025 the year of the gay nazi!
This is why owning a naziPhone is like driving a Tesla.
Bad news: android did it too
Google stopped pretending and went full evil a while ago.
Apple still pretends to be a “good” corporation that guards its users privacy and protects them from government overreach.
So then is it all Teslas?
It’s all Teslas until a Linux phone drops that is ready for prime time. Alternatively you can return to our lord and savior Nokia
until a Linux phone drops that is ready for prime time
I think about this often. the hardware is there. linux itself is the heart of android.
manufacturing requires shittons of capital and rolling up a phone OS that carriers will allow on their networks are harder challenges, but I don’t think they’re insurmountable…
Don’t buy a pixel then.
But definitely don’t buy a naziPhone.
If you think that google isn’t getting a sweet cut of Samsung, Oneplus, etc. you’re out of your mind

What a breathtakingly stupid conclusion.
How are you not aware of the concept of picking the Least Bad of several not so great options?
In summary, no I am not out of my mind, yes you need to have a bit more flexibility in your cognition.
I mean the least bad would be buying a used pixel and putting grapheneOS on it. Samsung does even more spying than Google and offers no option for unlocking the boot loader in case Linux OS do become stable. You’re accusing Apple of removing an app when Android removes said apps as well? But sorry I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings
Can you think of anything else that detracts from the initial point of not buying a naziPhone?
Perhaps a history of the downfall of Google?
Pivot to discussing llms?
Abstract away from electronics altogether?
Redirect from crapping on apple by any means necessary?
Kamala voter spotted
Ok so buy what then? Go Amish?

You’re overcomplicating this. Tim Fuckface had a farcical bending the knee ceremony, bearing a gold statue in tribute.
Get an android phone from anyone other than Google.
When a viable android alternative shows up, convert.
But… android phones use google play services. It’s really no better, you give them all of your sweet sweet personal info either way.
It’s actually possible to have a somewhat usable smartphone with Android, without Google services. That’s just not possible with Apple. You can even buy an Android without Google today. With a phone like this, whether off-the-shelf or DIY, you can have a reasonably useful phone, use the web, and organize without being tracked by Google or Apple, and therefore the fascist US gov’t. That’s not possible with an iPhone.
Your ability to go tangential will be sung about.
I’m really not trying to be. My point is we have no choice but to purchase from Nazi enablers, so what makes Apple the most evil one? Both CEOs were giving him handjobs at the inauguration.
google unironically sells the best phone to degoogle, not even close
