Jew Nobbled Apple Is Going To Wish It Hadn't Done This

KernowDamo: Apple’s billion-dollar purchase of an Israeli AI firm has sparked controversy over privacy and growing BDS pressure seems certain to follow.

Right, so Apple has just bought an Israeli company whose technology reads facial micromovements to infer speech, and that decision immediately pulls Apple into a political space it has spent years trying to pretend it can sidestep. Until now, Apple could sell itself as a neutral platform company, focused on privacy, above the fray of boycotts, sanctions, and ethical supply-chain fights. That insulation is gone. When Apple chooses to integrate Israeli surveillance-adjacent AI at the core of its ecosystem, it doesn’t matter how carefully the feature is deployed or how many privacy slogans follow - the relationship itself becomes the issue. For BDS supporters, this isn’t about settings or safeguards, it’s about institutional choice, and Apple has now made one. And for everyone else, the timing matters, because this lands just as Apple is asking users to trust its AI ambitions without explaining their limits. That combination removes deniability, narrows Apple’s room to manoeuvre, and turns what used to be a background political argument into a live liability sitting inside Apple’s privacy story.

Next-Level Spying: China Read West's Wiretaps For Years

'The Orwellian Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act in the United States and the Investigatory Powers Act in the United Kingdom require telecommunications carriers to build backdoors into their networks for court-ordered wiretapping for their own citizens. Chinese state hackers found those backdoors. And walked through them.' 

Authored by Shanaka Anslem Perera: The four trillion dollars in institutional capital positioned for stable UK-China relations rests on an assumption that died in a Chengdu server room sometime around 2019. The assumption is that espionage between major powers operates within understood boundaries, that telecommunications infrastructure is contested but not compromised, that the surveillance systems Western governments built to watch their citizens cannot be turned around to watch them. The assumption has been falsified. What follows is the complete mechanism of how China’s Ministry of State Security achieved persistent access to the private communications of three British Prime Ministers’ closest advisers, the phones of a US President-elect, and the wiretap systems that were supposed to catch them doing it. The positioning implications are immediate. The framework is permanent.
