    Christian what would you recommended Apple to do, break local laws? Your article makes Apple look weak for complying with the law, would you act differently?

    Apple and everyone else (looking at you, Google) should have the moral courage to refuse censorship. How often is it said, and used as a marketing tool, that the internet is about freedom of information? Except for China, I guess. Every time a major corporation caves into censorship laws anywhere, they stand up for oppression and show their true colours.

    Once upon a time the world stood against apartheid by boycotting business in South Africa. Not a single person, corporate spokesliar or sleazy lawyer suggested it was a better idea to cave in and take their cash. Those days are long gone, and corporate collaboration with dictatorships should be a clear signal that for capitalists, money trumps humanity.
