They backed off from this, I thought. It will probably be back of course.

Apple said “no” and they reversed course.

What's with this old news?

First NSA started snooping, but I didn't care because it did not affect me.

Then Israel started snooping, but I didn't care because I was not the target.

Then India followed in the footsteps but I didn't speak and instead tacitly supported it.

And then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.

Collective punishment?

They are not spamming use from their phones. This will have little to no effect on their organized crime groups.

even the text spam?
