Apple CEO Tim Cook to Meet With U.S. President Joe Biden to Discuss Cybersecurity

I love your answer, but I don’t think iOS 14 (on your iPhone 12 Pro Max - same as mine) will be safe. Apple will be updating iOS 14 with actually important security updated, and one of those will include CSAM scanning. Probably right after iOS 15 is released, iOS 14 will be ”upgraded” as well.
At least he cares about America, cook is a globalist and could care less
Timmy? Seriously again? Using Timmy for Tim Cook to try to diminish him, just makes the person posting it look childish. It weakens any position you’re trying to make.
I’m watching this closely…. My whole plan to keep my devices for a while depends on ios14 being clean…. If it turns out they are retro spying then it moves up my timeline
More like the hypocritical explaining to the clueless...
These type of meetings are more to show that there is a policy focus - rather than the nuts-and-bolts of any policy.
I can see it now
Tim: I’d like to discuss serious cyber security issues
Biden: who’s sugar and why… burgedurgenuger security??

Equally, responding and taking a snarky comment at a CEO, personally - looks childish. It weakens any position you're trying to make.
You mean tRUMP and his cronies (the ones still alive and not in prison). I think there is a higher probability of positive hits.
Does it surprise you given the number of completely unhinged, misinformed, "conspiracy theorist" responses to so many topics here?
Lol… if you want to categorize pedos by political affiliation you will probably lose that battle for obvious reasons
They share data about all images. Every single one.
Because it doesn't really matter what the images are.
Again, not relevant.
(Also, people with these images are not the real problem anyway, and has been discussed many times before on MR this policy will encourage an increase in child abuse.)
Questionable. They may say it's within their rights to do it, but many things that appear to be within ones rights is not actually something you can do. You can't simply shoot someone burglarizing your house. You can't have sex with a spouse just because you want to do so. I can't just include a movie clip in a video because it emphasizes an emotion.
How does not buying a product punish Apple?
It might. More importantly, it should.
Again, this needs to be questioned and investigated. Just because it's the way software companies work now doesn't mean it's reasonable nor is it a way to justify anti-consumer, anti-privacy behavior.
I never agreed to it. My phone was set up by my carrier.
There are other ways to vote. You can lobby. You can protest. You can vote with other people's wallets by making it embarrassing to have products or brands. You can do investigative journalism. You can buy stock and ask executives to justify and defend every single business decision. You can publicly shame them.
You seem to think that because Apple says it's ok, then it's ok. Even if they have the legal right to do what they are doing it's not ok. Put your energy into fixing the problem. We should have legally protected expectations that content is private from the government. We need to hold companies accountable for leaking personal details regardless of if it's a data breach or actively sharing information. There is absolutely no discernable difference between sharing private data with the police and releasing it on the dark web.
Probably the saddest article I read this morning was someone saying they were going to accept Apples spyware because android was not any better…. Yes android has its own issues but as discussed at length they currently are not doing this and android google free iOS is available if need be….. sometimes it feels like apple has paid pundits in our forums and media instead of just fanboys…. Also noting article about this are starting to dry up…. Approaching 24hrs with out a major story…… hopefully that will change because it needs to stay up front for a while to get the word out beyond the normal tech people who watch stuff like this
Since this thread is about Biden and cook it shouldn’t surprise anyone to see a political slant come in, I actually thought the other threads over the last week have gone well as far as staying on topic…. As far as this personal attack on conservatives above it’s kinda unwarranted What Apple has been doing seems pretty clear it’s offensive regardless of political affiliation… privacy is one issue you would think you could try to get along, always seems to devolve…. But notable the main people doing this are the Apple defenders
Do you have a cite for Apple TVs being scanned? I know about iPhones, iPads, and Mac OS, but not ATVs. If ATVs are included, that means our four ATVs will have to be replaced, too.
That would drive me beyond my current level of disappointment and well into the outright angry zone.
I have thought about my appletv…. I can’t see a way for it to become spyware other than tracking what you watch…. I’m a little more concerned about my homepods though….they could easily go the Alexa way…. I have been just trusting apple on this and we all know trust kinda went out the window this week
It isn't just Democrats. Even the dominant "news" media are starting to turn on him. The man is obviously not firing on all cylinders. Hasn't been since long before his "election."
Because it's been discovered Tim speaks with forked tongue?
Actually the pipeline was fine. It was the payment system that got hacked. Can't have customers getting free energy, can we? Capitalism strikes again.
I'm sure "the talk" will be about how Apple doesn't care about customer privacy anymore and Apple is now willing to become a government bitch.
huh??? He's still living in your head rent free I guess.
