Apple's cooperation with Chinese officials

This post should be removed. It has nothing to do with the RV Life and is certainly way too political and inflammatory.

I really don't know what it's about, but Chinese is misspelled.

Thank you.

I knew better but guess I had "cheese" on the mind.

I'm glad you are around to correct mistakes. Misspelling has long been a critical problem on these forums. I would also like to see you point out grammatical errors. One of my pet peeves is writers confusing subjective and objective pronouns. Subjective pronouns are most often used improperly after "and, or".

Just keep an eye out and don't let anything get by you.

Always wondered what happened to Jack and Diane. Haven't heard from you since the little ditty by John Cougar Mellencamp.

I grew up in a country where being pro-American, pro-FBI or flying the Stars and Stripes would not be considered political. If this is not the reality any longer, I'm not willing to accept it.

Notice that my last line indicated that I was unsure if this should be Around the Campfire.

If we had a gov with backbone it would do as China did. In order to do business in US you need to ""............... Apple would be happy to.

No kidding? I thought it had 3p's.

Still happy to have another spell checker on the forrrum. Gives me a warm, fuzzzy feeeling to know so many are watching for these devilllish errrors.

China is a government controlled country, and has complete say of what their citizens can read, say, do. If Apple or any other company wants to do business in China they have to play by their rules, or take theIr toys and go home. Google and Facebook have to play by China’s rules also.

I support Apple in not creating a “back door” into their products which can be exploited by not so nice people. There has been several instances where police / FBI have gained access to locked down iPhones using third party software and services. Millions of people keep their very private information on iPhones, iPads, iCloud storage. I want it near impossible for anyone other than me to get that data.

And this is on an RV forum because....

This subject has no place here. Even in "Around the Campfire" --- such a topic should be discussed, literally, around the campfire -- in private, not on a public forum. Start the countdown for posting removal.....10, 9, 8, 7, 6........:C

Reason number I no longer care about the number, why I do not have an I for Incompatible phone (This is not a political statement.. For what I need a smart phone for getting the I phone to work is a wrestling match match. But an Android is pure joy and simplicity.. This however has to do with what I want it to do... I likely does not apply to you so choice is good)

The reason I avoid Apple products.. is older than the I-phone however.
