Are nations sovereign if they strangely get a coup if they don’t do what the US wants, or is it possible that the US might quite literally be a colonizer?
Personally, I think massive surveillance by the government is a much better option for them. Apple could cooperate with this (they already do in PRISM, maybe they could hand over data) but this would be much more effective than shutdowns.
Communicate and give away your secrets, comrades, and we’ll be watching, always watching… :fbi-posting:
There’s no way a communist revolution would work in the USA right now so you’re going to need more context in this hypothetical world where a communist revolution has a chance of succeeding.
I wish it were possible to believe otherwise, but history doesn’t seem to support that belief.
If Russia did another communist revolution, Apple probably would face more damage in doing anything overtly than they’d gain from just silently participating in PRISM and doing nothing at all.
They could make things more difficult by shutting down Apple services unless you’re on a brand new totally not malware update similar to how they did a shutdown with iOS 11.
They could try to deploy malware with known vulnerabilities if people block updates.
They’d have to be really compelled though, because it would severely damage their reputation and they do like their billions rolling in

“Bougie” but you have to pronounce it the same as “boogie”

Would depend on whether it would be in their interests to do so IMHO
You could make the case either way
Still a decent amount of micro-USB and mini-USB devices around, not to mention iPhones took until 2023 to transition
Just preemptively nationalize all corporations — would be much faster and would get the same result
Apple forced to continue selling the iPhone 2G in 2147 despite not even displaying the correct date and time due to overflow
I hope you change your mind

Would it?

I love how they portrayed the American Canal between Canada and Mexico

Here’s a new post countering this if you want more:

If you post on Hexbear’s Dunk Tank, it’s required to not censor.
I censor if I respect the person otherwise if it weren’t for a bad take or in the case there is no publicly accessible link to the post for dunking.
If the takes aren’t bad, I would see no reason to not censor though because we would be supporting it…?
Cowards! At least admit it in your display name…
