In ABC News Interview, Tim Cook Calls FBI Request the “Equivalent of Cancer”
Apple continues to make its case against the FBI, with the latest salvo coming from CEO Tim Cook in a 30-minute interview with ABC News. Cook does a good job explaining away many of the misconceptions in the case. Anyone interested in this topic should listen to the interview, which runs first in an 8-minute abbreviated version, followed by the full-length conversation with ABC’s David Muir.
The interview (and an abbreviated version) is available on the Apple TV ABC News app.
Thanks to TidBits for ongoing coverage of this extremely important situation.
I see this as an attempt to hack into humanity at a level of mind that has been externalized and networked - but with some residual privacy at the nodes of user-access.
Humanity cannot hack into itself - it communicates itself. It is the un-human or anti-human that operates coercively and deceitfully. The idea that such a distorted sense of power can be limited or controlled is the sign of a mind already hacked.
Seriously - the issues are at the core of our consciousness out from which we live - an 'operating system' that is generally invisible.
Power based on deceit and manipulation operates identity politics - that is it usurps identity via back doors and phishing ruse. The reflection in our world illuminates what is already active but hidden in the structuring of our consciousness, for notice the aligning with such 'power' has been our survival. If Apple are known to be making back-doors - what of Apple is there to survive except an instrument of a shadow state - and techno-surfs!
Is there some trick to get the video to play, or an alternate source? I've tried on a number of macs/os versions both at home and at work, with and without flash, including on a pristine el cap install--no ad blocks of any sort, and a fast connection. I never get past a spinning ring (sometimes I don't get that far). The only thing I haven't tried is windows.
It's definitely odd. For me, it loaded OK in Chrome, via Flash. But it loaded in the bottom right corner of the window when I scrolled down, which was strange.
Aha, I guess there are things I haven't tried, such as alternate browsers. I just tried firefox on mavericks with flash, and that worked once I noticed that firefox was asking if I wanted to allow it.
Thanks!
