    Every iPhone will search itself for whatever Apple wants, or for whatever Apple is directed to want. They are inventing a world in which every product you purchase owes its highest loyalty to someone other than its owner.

    Why has this not been disclosed by the US government?

    Our report from last night on the awful ISIS attack outside Kabul airport as families still search Kabul's morgues for their loved ones.. Many we spoke to, including eyewitnesses, said significant numbers of those killed were shot dead by US forces in the panic after the blast

    For a great explainer of why the change so dangerously imperils human rights, read the analysis by ⬇️

    How long do we have left before the iPhone in your pocket begins quietly filing reports about encountering “extremist” political material, or about your presence at a "civil disturbance"?

    Afghanistan is the size of Texas, and in the middle of a Civil War. Attempts to spin Americans and Afghans who can't make it to a single airstrip in Kabul as "not wanting to leave" is reprehensible.

    It is grotesque that media repeats the political language of "Americans who want to leave," when "Americans who don't want to leave" is being used to categorize those who WANT to leave, but are being refused permission to take their Afghan families. They can't just abandon them.

    This is an evacuation from an active war zone. If an American shows up at the airport and says "this is my family," I don't care if they're followed by three mice and a giraffe—you let them in. Quibbling about visas and stamps can happen when the plane lands on the other side.

    It is grotesque that media repeats the political language of "Americans who want to leave," when "Americans who don't want to leave" is being used to categorize those who WANT to leave, but are being refused permission to take their Afghan families. They can't just abandon them.

    Eloquent article by on Apple’s on-phone CSAM scanning plan. Viewing through ’s “data as body” lens, this is a stunning intrusion into our private spaces. We need a solution to harmful content, but not by turning all of us into suspects

    Stay out of our phones, . Apple's entire brand is built on the idea that you respect that boundary. The minute you roll out a "client-side scanning" system, you have broken that promise. Whatever you're doing here is not worth that.

    Somebody needs to tell and 's board that if this many people are wading through *two-thousand word* tracts on the future cost of their proposed "client-side scanning" system, Apple needs to correct course: "Delay" the rollout. Blame new research. Kill it quietly.

    Exchange from July 8, 2021: Q Do you trust the Taliban, Mr. President? Do you trust the Taliban, sir? THE PRESIDENT: Is that a serious question? Q It is absolutely a serious question. Do you trust the Taliban? THE PRESIDENT: No, I do not.

    SCOOP: U.S. officials gave the Taliban a list of names of U.S. citizens, green card holders & Afghan allies to grant entry into the outer perimeter of the city’s airport, prompting outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.

    Hours before the attack, I asked the former interpreter why he was still outside Kabul Airport given the UK had warned of an imminent terrorist threat. His focus though was on the Taliban & the threat they pose to him because of his work with UK forces. "I am in hell," he said.
