      Apple is about making money. If honesty and integrity do not increase profits, they will be discarded.

          They all do until it affects profits.

          Corporations are legal people but they are all literal psychopaths. They will do or say anything to keep the profits rolling and the real humans mean nothing to them.

          We are nothing but a means to an end and that end is profits.

          Yep. He references issues both in the past and present that tie directly into this film they’re promoting, yet they censored all this out while pretending like they give a shit about these causes because they put it into a for-profit movie they created.

          Looking like they care about “privacy” and “issues” is purely accidental.

        Well, yes. There have been a lot of reasons to dislike Apple but censorship was not one of them.

          You must not be aware then that Apple gladly removes VPN apps from the Chinese app store to continue selling their phones there

      Tbf, it’s the same rant Bobby always gives and they were probably hoping to skip it as well as keep their ceremonies moving.

        That makes it worse honestly. If he’s known to give those speeches and you give him a platform and censor him anyway, that seems more premeditated censorship than anything.

        Tbf

        you meant to say “to be a completely disingenuous little cunt”

        but i agree that Bobby should keep his crying ass mouth shut if he’s not willing to tell Trump voters what he thinks of them… bitching about Trump just makes it worse, and shows that he’s just a fucking crybaby…
