Martha McCallum Grills John Kirby: Why Is the White House "Keeping an Eye on Twitter" While Not Even Saying a Word in Private to Apple About Actively Assisting China in Repressing Its Own People?In case you missed it, Apple bowed to the demands of their Chinese Communist Partners and secretly deleted a key feature in Apple phones which protesters and dissidents had previously used to communicate discretely. Apple's updates are usually very thorough about telling you exactly what they will change. But not this time -- the update, intended only for the Chinese market, omitted any mention that the "AirDrop" feature, long relied on by protesters and dissidents, would be greatly limited.
Users had no idea they'd be crippling one of the few tools they had to communicate without state monitoring when they accepted the update. Which is the way Apple wanted it, because that's the way their Chinese Communist partners and paymasters wanted it. A Nov. 9 software update included an additional AirDrop feature applying only to iPhones sold in mainland China. NSC spokesman John Kirby appeared on Martha MacCallum. She wanted to know why the Biden White House -- and Biden himself, in fact -- had all but declared Elon Musk a National Security Threat and ordered a Deep State probe of him because he wasn't imposing the left's totalitarian censorship regime, but had offered absolutely no criticism or government scrutiny of Apple, despite it now being officially part of the Communist China Secret Police apparatus. He says, "Because Apple is a private company." She responds, "Twitter is a private company, too." He then says, "These are completely different situations," having failed in his first attempt to mark them as different situations. He then say that Twitter must be subjected to a Deep State probe because it might have foreign investors. Note that Twitter also had foreign investors when it was imposing the left's censorship regime, and the left had no problem with foreign investment then. Also note that Apple has a lot of foreign investors. Martha MacCallum points out that Apple is taking orders from a foreign government here, which seems to be the very situation that this bullshit concern over "foreign investors" is aimed at preventing. That is, grumbling about foreign investors is ultimately about trying to keep a major company from being perverted by foreign powers to work their will. But Apple is already working China's will, to help it crush an organic protest movement. And Kirby says "But it's different!" Because Apple is helping Biden crush his own despised internal dissident movement, of course. Not only will he not scold Apple publicly, but he admits the White House has not even reached out to Apple privately, behind the scenes, to ask them why they are now a partner organization with the Chinese Secret Security Police. From Twitchy.
Apple and China do seem to be in perfect alignment as regards Regime censorship and state police control over the minds and words of the citizenry.
