Say what you want about Apple and their motivations, we really need them to win this case.
It's irrelevant what fascism collaborators do as their side job. Fuck apple.

I didn’t say I like Apple or that I trust them or anything. I said we want them to win this lawsuit.

It's already gone because it's not disclosed when or why it is moved to servers where the Chinese govt can decrypt it, but I guess it depends on who you're worried about having your data
It’s already gone. There’s nothing I can do about it
-
No one outside of China has their data stored there, though.
- There's no way to tell if Apple transfers your data there
- Apple does not clarify how they decide when to transfer your data there
- You are putting a lot of faith into a system that shows no transparency
You know there are some of us who don’t use iCloud so you can stop assuming all of us are in this boat lol

No
they do not.Get Apple's dick out of your ass.
They literally have a history of moving data to government servers and handing over encryption keys: https://thehackernews.com/2021/05/how-apple-gave-chinese-government.html?m=1
San Bernardino shooter case?

Apple is all proprietary anyways, so you shouldn't trust them still, even if they win this court case. I recommend using Librebooted Dell OptiPlex 780's or Dell E4300 Latitude's with Trisquel GNU/Linux + Tor Browser with Javascript disabled if your looking for the most privacy in your internet activites. You can do what you wish with this information.

Oh my god the responses are so aggravating
It does not fucking matter what we think of Apple. If they lose this case, we all lose.
This isn’t a discussion about what hardware to buy dude jfc take step back and look around you for 2 seconds

That's separate from what OP is talking about.
The on-device encryption is decentFor data on Apple's servers (which they push icloud by anemic device storage...)
Apple themselves publish that they give access to user accounts 90% of the time in the US -

This is true, but considering all the US government problems with China, if Apple does send your data to Chinese servers regardless of where you are, I’d guess governments in the US and Europe would make iPhones forbidden for all their sensitive personnel.

They can win it in a way that will still benefit only them and not you.

Do you even understand what this lawsuit is about? Do you understand what the ramifications are if they win? If they lose?

Yes, I do. Don't assume.
If they win or lose is irrelevant. If they win, it will not be used for some glorious precedent forever pushing against the governments asking to compromise all software solutions, it will be just a saved implementation time for apple and a pr boost for them among people who don't know better. If they lose, it will be yet another trust and security issue with a closed proprietary unauditable product noone security minded should be using anyway, by a shit company with ties to fascist, willingly cooperating with PRISM and who knows what other programs, in a rogue state which is a part of Five Eyes. -

So, why are they suddenly allowed to talk about it?

I think we should attack this issue at the root. There are already backdoors in the devices anyway, so what's this court case really going to achieve? I get it, because it would be a known backdoor,, but think of all the nastier NSA backdoors that aren't disclosed to the public. We've lost already by the masses using proprietary garbage.

They care more about protecting their IP and public image, not end privacy of users.
They make a big fuss anytime a public request comes up like the FBI a few years ago, but they have zero issue funneling everything into the NSA just like every other Silicon Valley shmuck.
