Apple's business model made Chinese oppression inevitable

A month ago, a wave of rare political protests swept China, centered on Beijing, where Premier Xi Jinping was consolidating his already-substantial power by claiming an unprecedented third term:

https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/22/china/china-party-congress-overseas-students-protest-intl-hnk

Protest organizers in China struggle with the serious legal and extrajudicial penalties for anti-government activities, backed by a sophisticated digital surveillance grid that monitors and blocks online communications that might challenge government authority.

Though this digital surveillance network is now primarily supplied and serviced by Chinese tech companies, it can't be separated from western tech companies. The first version of the Chinese digital surveillance grid was built by Cisco:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/ciscos-latest-attempt-dodge-responsibility-facilitating-human-rights-abuses-export

Tech companies like Yahoo went into China knowing that they'd have to censor the internet, and ultimately turned over their users' data to Chinese authorities, who subsequently arrested and tortured some of those users:

https://www.technewsworld.com/story/yahoo-charged-with-complicity-in-chinese-torture-case-57011.html

Google pulled out of China in 2010, after the Chinese government hacked and arrested Gmail users. But eight years later, Google was secretly working on Project Dragonfly, a censoring, surveilling search product designed for the Chinese market:

https://www.technologyreview.com/2018/12/19/138307/how-google-took-on-china-and-lost/

Apple plays a key ongoing role in Chinese state surveillance and oppression. Like most tech giants, Apple depends on access to low-waged Chinese factory workers with weak labor protections to hold down the wage bill for its manufacturing.

Apple also relies on selling phones and computers and services to the titanic Chinese middle class, a category that's loose enough that estimates of its size range from 350m to 700m - but even the lower figure is larger than the entire US population.

Apple's dual reliance on poor Chinese workers and rich Chinese consumers gives the Chinese state enormous leverage over the company. The Chinese government can order Apple to participate in its digital surveillance and dissent-suppression efforts and threaten the company with the loss of revenues and manufacturing if it balks.

But that's true of any western company that seeks to hold down costs and generate revenues through Chinese manufacturing and Chinese sales. What makes Apple uniquely vulnerable to Chinese state pressure is its business-model choices - choices that, ironically, are touted as a way to keep its users safe.

Apple's Ios platform is "curated." Ipads and Iphones ship locked to Apple's App Stores. Users aren't supposed to be able to install software unless it is delivered via the App Store. Apple describes this as a safety measure, a bulwark against the tricks that hackers and identity thieves use to lure users into installing malicious software.

But Apple also makes billions of dollars through this arrangement. The App Store is a chokepoint, and any software author who wants to sell an app to an Iphone owner can only do so if Apple approves of the transaction.

https://chokepointcapitalism.com/

Apple can arbitrarily withhold this permission, if, say, it has a competing product and doesn't want to have to win out over a new market entrant in a fair fight.

Apple can also burden its competitors: if you want to sell media that competes with Apple Books, Apple Music or Apple Video, the company will charge you 15-30% on each sale, while its own offerings escape this charge.

That means that media stores that competes with Apple's own retail storefronts have to either charge more than Apple, or make less money, or not sell media via an app at all - instead, they have to implement a clunky two-step whereby customers buy their media on the web and they flip back to an app to download it.

Even when an app maker doesn't compete with Apple, Apple can turn it to its advantage: the company simply appropriates 15-30% of ever dollar that changes hands when Iphone owners buy software and media from app makers.

This is "feudal security." In a lawless realm of roving bandits, Apple offers us a high-walled fortress bristling with fierce infosec mercenaries who promise to defend us from the threats outside the walls. In return, Apple uses its control over the gateway to the outside world to extract a tax from everyone who brings us the things we need.

Apple has every incentive to make this fortress as impregnable as possible. From the lowest levels of its chip designs to its lobbying blitzes to criminalize jailbreaking devices, the company is fully committed to ensuring that Ios device owners can't make choices Apple disapproves of.

This is the source of China's extraordinary leverage over Apple. Apple can't afford to leave China, because that would mean losing manufacturing and customers. Because of this, the Chinese state can order Apple to take any measure that Apple is technically capable of delivering.

Because of its business-model choices, Apple has the technical capability to introduce defects in the apps on its customers' devices. It can order every software vendor in the App Store to break their privacy tools so that the Chinese government can spy on those customers.

If companies don't comply, Apple can simply block them from delivering software to Chinese users altogether. An absolutely foreseeable consequence of this product design is that the Chinese state will order Apple to neuter all the privacy tools available to Chinese Ios users, which is exactly what happened:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-apple-vpn/apple-says-it-is-removing-vpn-services-from-china-app-store-idUSKBN1AE0BQ

Apple offers cloud storage to its Ios users. Because Apple can't afford to anger the Chinese state, the Chinese state can order Apple to introduce defects into the encryption on its cloud servers so that Apple customers can be spied on by the Chinese government. That's also exactly what happened:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/17/technology/apple-china-censorship-data.html

Apple's business-model decisions reduce the consequences for betraying its customers. If defects in Apple's cloud product come to light, it can simply order all the other cloud services in the App Store to introduce similar defects, on pain of being kicked out of the store.

Last month's Chinese protests were coordinated in part thanks to a novel technological tactic, one that made use of one of Apple's most innovative technologies: Airdrop. Airdrop is an ad hoc, peer-to-peer file transfer protocol that lets two nearby Ios users exchange files with one another without identifying themselves.

Anti-Xi organizers used Airdrop to exchange forbidden protest literature. Because these files travel directly between Ios devices, they weren't visible to the censors and spies who monitor other digital communications tools in China.

This use of Airdrop is a canonical example of the ways that digital technologies can be part of human rights struggles, giving people new tools that give them leverage over powerful state actors.

Right on schedule, the Chinese government has ordered Apple to break Airdrop so that it can't be used to organize protests, requiring users to opt into receiving files from strangers every ten minutes, rather than letting them set their devices to publicly visible until they are ready to turn it off:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/11/apple-limits-iphone-filesharing-feature-used-by-protesters-in-china

Apple called this a "security update." It updates the security of the Chinese state from democratic accountability.

There's a strain of technology criticism that sees incidents like this as proof that digital tools have no place in human rights struggles, because they will always be turned against their users.

But no one forced Apple to launch its "curated computing" service, nor to design it so that its customers can't override it. Apple built a walled fortress in full knowledge that it might be called upon someday to turn that fortress into a prison.

The feigned outrage of tech companies when the weakenesses in their business-models are exploited by third parties is an obvious and shabby trick to deflect blame. Apple put the gun on the mantelpiece in Act I. It can't expect us to forgive it when Xi Jinping fires the gun in Act III.

Of course, this sin isn't unique to Apple. Google has designed a location-harvesting system that is impossible to opt out of, so that it can accumulate and sell access to a database of every movement of every person.

https://pluralistic.net/2021/06/01/you-are-here/#goog

Having assembled this database, Google doesn't get to act surprised when cops show up with "geofenced reverse warrants" that demand the identity of every participant in a Black Lives Matter protest (or the January 6 riot):

https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/5/22918487/fbi-geofence-seattle-blm-protest-police-guild-attack

Or take the scandal of Adobe customers' files being wrecked by the company's dispute with proprietary color system vendor Pantone. Pantone cancelled Adobe's license to use its technology and wants Adobe customers to spend $21/month to keep Pantone colors.

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/28/fade-to-black/#trust-the-process

But this doesn't just affect files created after the Adobe/Pantone split. Due to Adobe's subscription-based business model, which requires customers to pay monthly for software as a service (SaaS), Pantone can demand that Adobe break all the existing files its customers have created.

If you created a Photoshop file with some Pantone colors 20 years ago, they are broken now, and forever, unless you start paying Pantone $21/month, because Adobe has altered its cloud software so that all Pantone-colored pixels are rendered in black.

I've been corresponding with an Adobe PR flack doing damage control after the Pantone scandal broke, and as far as I can tell, she wants me to "correct" my article to blame Pantone for this mess, because it has Adobe over a barrel.

But Adobe built that barrel. This hostage situation was a completely forseeable consequence of redesigning its products to treat its users like hostages. Pantone are greedy scum, but so are Adobe - and it was Adobe's greed that exposed its customers to Pantone's greed.

The point isn't that having your Photoshop files corrupted is the same as being kidnapped and tortured by Chinese police. But both Adobe and Apple - and every other tech giant - has decided that the rise of networked computing is an opportunity to exercise ongoing control over their customers. All of these companies knew that this ongoing control could be hijacked by hostile governments or corporations at any time, and they did it anyway.

They have no business acting surprised now. Apple isn't responsible for Chinese state oppression, but it is knowingly, explicitly complicit in it.

“GOAT”

https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/02/world/banished-words-2023-intl-scli/index.html

LOL, finally, somebody says it!

“The list serves to uphold, protect, and support excellence in language by encouraging avoidance of words and terms that are overworked, redundant, oxymoronic, clichéd, illogical, nonsensical – and otherwise ineffective, baffling, or irritating.”

That’s putting it mildly, anybody who says it just sounds like a complete jackass.

Funnily enough “moving forward” also made the list. Whoever put this together would REALLY hate reading Attack on Titan. XD And the fans.

“GOAT”, what happens when you let a moron meme get way out of control.

And I only ever heard it because of what else? Attack on Titan. And more specifically, the Gabi fans. Anybody seeing a pattern here?

Night Flight Announces 40th Anniversary Special with The Residents

On June 5th, 2021, Night Flight will celebrate the 40 year anniversary of its premiere episode with an exclusive streaming event on the Night Flight Plus app (nightflightplus.com). Known for flying the weekend airwaves of the USA Network from 1981-1988 and being a cultural lifeline for millions of starving cable viewers, Night Flight has garnered a cult status that prevails today.

Night Flight has returned as a subscription streaming service featuring original episodes of the series, and hundreds of curated cult films, music docs, retro horror, and more hidden treasures. The streaming app now features two innovative 24/7 live channels, NFTV, which updates a programming schedule every Friday night and NFTVi, which is devoted to independent music videos. The streaming event is available exclusively for Night Flight Plus members. Memberships are $4.99/month and $39.99/year. To celebrate, new members can save 25% on an annual membership with the code: NIGHTFLIGHT40. Sign up now and fly your own Rite of Passage!

Night Flight is proud to host cult pioneers The Residents for an exclusive performance of DUCK STAB! ALIVE!, a re-imagining of the group’s iconic 1970s album. Directed by celebrated video artist John Sanborn, DUCK STAB! ALIVE! will be a contemporary, "live-in-the-studio" interpretation of the band’s classic sound and serves as a as a prelude to The Residents’ 50th Anniversary tour beginning this August. The Residents have always been a beacon of the avant-garde and Night Flight is honored to have them back.

Also featured in the anniversary episode: a marathon of Penelope Spheeris's landmark documentary series covering LA's music scene, The Decline of Western Civilization Parts 1,2, and 3, and Modern Harmonic's reissue of the meeting of two experimental titans, John Cage Meets Sun Ra.

Night Flight will also be surveying independent record labels on its 40th Anniversary with brand new Video Profiles from Independent labels Mexican Summer and Sacred Bones, who will be joining the Independent label roster later this year that includes Sub Pop, Drag City, Dark Entries, Dais Records, and RVNG Intl.

In keeping the underground music mission embodied by Night Flight's sister show New Wave Theatre, Night Flight will also feature exclusive commissioned performances from Plack Blague and Def Rain.

Stuart S. Shapiro, Night Flight’s Creator and CEO said: “40 years ago, USA Network gave us a test with just 2 hours of late-night airtime for a summer shot for three months. At that time, movie theaters around the country were filled with midnight screenings of Rock and Roll docs, but cable was a vast wasteland of reruns. It seemed obvious that there was cultural need to bring our special DNA of counterculture music and docs to fulfill the real dream of the cable universe. I believe that Night Flight Plus today, as its own streaming channel, is every bit as impactful, not only as a time machine of full frontal cutting edge nostalgia, but also packed full of the best curated cutting edge entertainment anywhere. Night Flight is for sure The Best Weed in Town!”

Night Flight Plus members will have access to the 40th Anniversary streaming event on the Night Flight app’s live 24/7 channel. It will begin at 9PM ET, June 5th, 2021

“China is on the way UP...” and “a clash of titans is on the horizon...”

China is on the way up and, thanks to Trump's trade war, the world is heading for an us-versus-them universe.There will be two camps, pro-America; pro-China, and Johnson appears to be betting the bank on America.The recent clashes over Chinese technology firm Huawei was a harbinger of issues that lie ahead.

When traveling I make it a point to visit at least one local comic shop. This week we're in Dallas so I visited Titan Comics and am I glad I did! I found two absolute gems for just a few bucks each.

The book on the right is an old hardcover Marvel Intl reprint of X-Men #56-57. The one on the right is a Taschen Little Book of X-Men. It's not quite an index but covers highlights across most of the x-books until recent history. They'll never be worth a lot of money, but they have incredible nostalgic value for any long standing fan of the X-Men franchise.

If you're ever in Dallas, stop by Titan Comics (https://titancomics.com). It's easily one of the cleanest and well organized LCSs I've ever been too. They have a wide selection of products and the staff were very helpful.

My Review

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just my type. Seriously sexy, highly entertaining and perfectly romantic. This was a fantastic story filled with so much emotion, love, heat, laugh out loud situations and a meddling family that you just can’t get enough of. I just couldn’t put this story down.

Logan Tate has a lucrative contract and is a rookie defenseman with the Boston Titans Hockey franchise but lately he has been dominating the headlines, for all the wrong reasons, until finally he is suspended for eight games for an illegal tackle. But because of his anger issues, he will have to speak with a therapist and they will have to clear him in order to return to his team. Logan is still processing the death of his father at the beginning of the season and feels guilty because his mother and brothers need him back home. So he returns to Colorado.

Summer Campbell is a counselor that the Boston Titans send to Logan’s family home. Thinking that this will be a quick one day trip Summer isn’t prepared to stay very long, but with the cold shoulder Logan is giving her and the fact that she needs this job to get her business off its feet she is not about to give up.

“You can’t enjoy the sweet until you’ve tasted the bitter.”

Since the moment Logan and Summer meet I was all in. The simmering animosity between them, as well as an emotional connection explodes into off the charts, electric chemistry that jumps off the page. And neither of them seem capable of resisting their burning attraction. But with a little push from a meddling mother and some sibling rivalry that will have you laughing out loud at times this relationship just might be what they both are looking for.

“This kiss-this incredible kiss-tastes like devotion and desperation. I cant get enough of it. “

These characters bring such heartfelt emotions in this story, both dealing with a great personal loss, that it really made me feel their pain but I also felt their happiness as well. They are such great characters and this story brought all the feels. You don’t want to miss this one!!
