Someone please post this to the Apple subreddit. I'd love to see hell breaking loose over there.

What do you mean by "hell breaking loose"?

/r/Apple talks about this topic a lot and, similar to HN, is not happy about it. This drive link brings very little additional light to what was already known and discussed.

The sub is in crisis mode right now. Normally a huge pro-apple even on their worst days do no wrong sub. Right now people are pissed and speaking up. The mods are pissed that they have to deal with it (boo hoo). Anything to add fuel to this fire is good in my eyes because the same people who said "It's ok I have nothing to hide" from Edward Snowdens work are getting slapped in the face for their same ideology to this happening to Apple.

>"It's ok I have nothing to hide"

I don't remember that ever being a popular take on reddit.

But still, how do you know it's "the same people"? There are a lot of users who hold all kind of opinions.

I guess I meant that figuratively. The same genre of people who thought prism is ok because they have nothing to hide to give up privacy are now the same genre that think this privacy invasion is ok as well.

Ah I see, yes that makes sense.

How do you know it’s not pure disinformation?

It’s certainly not correct.
