The UK Just Went Orwell 1984 – And Apple Might Be Its First Victim


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am familiar with what you are speaking of, and your concerns.

 

However, in all honesty, I would be far more concerned with the UK going....

Clockwork Orange, rather than going "Orwell-1984".

 

I also am familiar with the APPLE ad/commercial you are alluding to, which everyone thought magnificent.

I did not like it, a bit.

 

The ad you are alluding to is this one:

 

 

JOBS and APPLE:  An authoritarian company run by a control freak, even back then in 1984. And, nothing has changed much, even now in 2025. In fact, APPLE is even more authoritarian than it ever was.  I hate Apple products, 

 

And, anyone using Apple products is a fool, or just someone who could not care less about being FREE....

 

Apple users have nothing to complain about, after making their decision to choose Apple for computers, phones, or anything else....

 

What about those tags that you love so much????

When someone shoots himself in the foot...then...

It's bound to hurt a bit.

So...why complain?

People are crazy to use the Cloud anyway, might as well make all your data available.

Agree I never use any cloud stuff. USB drives isn't expensive any more.

Live off grid in Alaska or Canada then? Thats the only way to escape the future on a place so distant and far from civilation and with enough recources to manage to survive as long you are healthy. 

 

The rest of us leaves footprints and marks everywhere we go 24/7. As long the democrazy survives it is sustainable, but as quick you have to many despots and dictators, you know where it will end. Most likely we are heading that way much faster than we thought, and for the wrong reasons

Can't live of sand, coconuts or fish only, and those cold areas is the only places you can survive and be healthy, especially if the heat continues 

 

Canada is rich of resources and big enough to manage to stay off grid

It is hard to catch terrorists. They use Telegraph and other apps to make themselves anonymous. Then they also use iPhones. People cry, "Why aren't the security services protecting us?"

"We can't follow them due to the first class encryption Apple uses." Is a blanket reply. 

I don't believe Apple is the only reason that security services can't spy on terrorists but the public should not have to allow their phones to be read.

I have never, never used any Cloud rubbish to store data. Nothing like the good old usb key and it even does the job for the iphone backps.

I wonder why the UK only targets iCloud? Or would it be that UK has obtained already access to Microsoft cloud, Amazone Cloud, Google cloud, and ????cloud. Most likely that is why UK does not have to ask the other Clouds!

 

Bullseye. They only target iCloud because the others already do what they want.

This is straight out of the NSA's old playbook from the Bush and Obama eras, when mass data collection took off under the Patriot Act. The government began pulling vast amounts of personal user data from Google and other tech companies, a practice later exposed by Edward Snowden.

 

The UK is now heading down the same dystopian path

 

You know the NSA outsourced this work to the UK don't you?

It's no coincidence the UK is demanding this, why do you think they're demanding this?

I am almost certain that this entire thing is driven by the US, the best customer GCHQ ever had. They've been trying to get this kind of thing in for years.

They can't do it in the US but it can be done in the UK which is conveniently one of the '5 eyes'.
