The government is bad, so is a trillion dollar American company choosing to collaborate with the government by enabling spying on their users just so they can make even more money. They're enabling a government to track down & torture/murder dissidents

Regarding them as distinct actors is a mistake. Both enable each other: Apple enables pervasive surveillance; in turn China enables huge profits. How bottomless is the guile of a corporation willing to put lives at risk to make some money?
