Why do you care what Apple does then?


Surveillance is rarely about the individual avoiding one specific mechanism and instead mostly about its subtile influence on society (like chilling effects, the reshaping of power structures, the shift of dependencies, etc.)

We should therefore care about increased surveillance even though we personally can avoid some specific measures.

We wouldn't question someones concern about climate change just because they live in some Russian perma frost region either.

Both are global issues.
