Sigh. No, Apple DID NOT GIVE THE KEYS OF THE CHINESE ICLOUD to the Chinese government.
Apple, like every other such cloud business operating in China is required to have the encryption keys to their Chinese operations stored within the geographic borders of the nation of China. The digital encryption keys to the Apple iCloud are stored at Apple's China headquarters in Beijing, not at any government office.
How many times do I have to squash this Fake News myth???
Is China more restrictive? Of course they are. If you do business there, you follow their laws. . . as does Microsoft when it hands over the entire source code for Windows with every update since Windows 98. Apple does not.
I don’t excuse Microsoft, and I dont believe China is just “hosting” the keys.
Cook is an ASS.
He set up links for people to donate to the far-left SPLC and the ADL (and I am Jewish, the ADL has been a commie disgrace for years).
I have told you repeatedly - I am a long time Apple user, but that doesn’t mean I have to sit back and kiss that sodomite Cook’s rear end.
As far as I am concerned, Apple’s failure to improve their core Mac apps like Contacts and Mail is directly linked to Cook’s FAILED management style, which has focussed on sucking up to China, and selling GARBAGE GAME APPS instead of improving the Mac and iPhone.
