Apple may have said that it opposes the idea of weakening encryption and providing governments with backdoors into products, but things are rather different in China. The Chinese parliament has just passed a law that requires technology companies to comply with government requests for information, including handing over encryption keys.
Under the guise of counter-terrorism, the controversial law is the Chinese government's attempt to curtail the activities of militants and political activists. China already faces criticism from around the world not only for the infamous Great Firewall of China, but also the blatant online surveillance and censorship that takes place. This latest move is one that will be view very suspiciously by foreign companies operating within China, or looking to do so.

There's nothing nuts about a man wanting a cute young girl (they're adorable), that you and faggots think otherwise is why you were burned alive on discovery not so long ago: men could not risk you living to gain positions of influence over them: it would lead to the loss of the right to marry cute young female children (which it has).

I swear to Ishtar, Mikhail, if you keep this shit up someone is going to find you and take you to task for it. We all know exactly who you are, and I bet the site admins could trace your connections fairly easily.
Why don't you come find me like you keep threatening to? Why don't you burn me, like you think should happen to me?
I know why. It's because you're a powerless, impotent, feeble old man who grows weaker and stupider by the day. You will die soon, and you will have left no legacy other than a long, fetid trail of virtual slime. Unloved, unmourned, unknown...gone. Return your elements to the dust of the earth and stop wasting oxygen on this crap.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

If that were really the case, then you wouldn't have said that in a reply.
