It occurred to me that when someone says things like "keep politics out of it", or "political discussions are not allowed here", and similar, what they are really doing is itself deeply political and they are effectively making a statement in favor of the status quo, supporting the current powers-that-be.

There is no place without politics.

The statement "this is not the place for politics" really means "I support the powers-that-be and that's the only opinion allowed here".

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!

Reading "On Freedom" by Timothy Snyder (2024). From page 201:

"If freedom is a right, maintained the philosopher Joseph Raz, then it is also a duty. Freedom cannot be selfish. To declare oneself free is to promise to act such that others can be free. We must imagine a society of free people and try to build it. Morally, logically, and politically, there is no freedom without solidarity."

Nobody here claimed that it implies anything. My point is that having control of your own device is a necessary first step towards privacy or security.

If someone else can login to your device and do whatever they want, then you are not secure, and you are not private. It's also misleading to call it "your" device, it's really their device because they control it.

@2babcc@mastodon.social thanks for explaining why you trust Apple.

I'd be curious to hear how you view the size of Apple as a company. It's one of the very largest companies in the world by market cap. Are you not worried that Apple is too big for any meaningful competition to happen? If Google were to merge with Apple into a single huge company, would that in your view be even better than the situation we have today? (in my view that's a nightmare scenario)

@GrapheneOS @janvlug @patrick @harld

@GrapheneOS you wrote:

> The purpose of our project is not advancing ideological beliefs

But the position you are taking here is deeply ideological and political.

You defend a world order where a single central authority (Apple) has complete power over people. Apparently you want people to think that they have "privacy" and "security" when they are under central control in that way.

You are entitled to your opinion, but do not pretend it's not ideological.

@GrapheneOS

Thanks for the replies, but you are still not answering my question.

An iPhone user is completely owned by Apple. How can that be acceptable to you?

You say you want to provide accurate info, but to me it seems you are actually deceiving people by pretending that it does not matter that someone else has root access on their devices.

Apple has enormous control over their users, it's really bad. I still don't understand why you are defending Apple.
