@aral Principles define your business model. Principles define your stance on issues. -
@harshilshah1910@aral exactly. This is about Apple’s principles, which define its business model. Not just a business model. -
@harshilshah1910@aral it is true Apple’s pro-privacy principles inform business model, but principles are stronger than a business model. -
@Smutchings@aral Amazing how folks think the company that has just beaten it’s own all-time revenue record would need an anti-gov PR play. -
@harshilshah1910@aral Apple is privileged enough to be in a position to be able to fight this order. One of very few companies who can. -
@Smutchings@aral Yup, genuinely can’t think of any reason why a business-focused co. would go near this. -
@harshilshah1910@aral a lot of other digital companies already gave in or can decrypt easily. So, they can’t fight back only smile and nod.
