One thing that I do like about Lemmy is even the Apple community is somewhat critical. While this particular case seems to be more of an exception, you’ll get massively downvotes if you critique the standard PR narrative that “Apple cares about digital privacy” or point out how Apple removed content critical of China and AI tech from their streaming service.
Tim Cook is Apple’s CEO and is very transparently doing this with the goal of getting favorable treatment toward Apple by the Trump administration. You’d have to be deluded to think this “personal donation” isn’t a bribe on behalf of Apple.
I love that this community calls out Apple’s BS.

Most apple forems are full of “line must go up” APPL share holders, and will down vote/dislike anything negative aimed at apple.
It’s a personal donation from Tim Cook
