Clearly, there are worse things the Tor Project did, such as removing a Clownflare discussion (notice how it doesn't exist on GitLab) and moving from Trac to GitLab, which caused disabling anonymous contributions. And let's not forget the Mozilla dependency…

Looks like a plain old copyvio: https://www.concrete-online.co.uk/chinese-censorship-tank-man-sold-to-chinese-firm/ After all, once you believe the right of people to see and share images is "property", how can you object to China?

Especially since DuckDuckGo mostly relies on Bing for its results. All search engines suck, of course, but the best choice for now is searX.

CuckCuckShlomo is no good, either.

They show it now, including reports that Bing blocked it at the top. I bet some intern fat-fingered the country list.

Well if that's so, you could take 100,000 Computer Professionals from all the top companies on Earth ... and you'd find they're 100.000% "Jewish".

That sounds like the classic "this isn't child porn ... it's just a natural number in base two."

SInce 2017 for their Animojis, lots of links. But now in 2021 they use pupil and gaze track to dim screen, and encode 3d faces to cloud. They call the 30,000 plotted 3d pixels... NOT A PHOTO in court documents, when they can be trivially used to make a accurate photo from the 30,000 plotted points.

They did, often since 2017, scan faces for 30,000 data points in 3d FOR EMOTION TRACKING in Animojis in 2017 and later, but now in 2021 they do it on home screen and measure pupil and study gaze direction.
Learn and read. Lots of links support all I just typed.

A connected device keeps scanning you and your surrounding (and no mean to switch it off according to posts in apple forum) ... it sounds dodgy as. If Apple isn't spying on its users, it is not yet.

Imagine being so fucking jewish that you believe anything you described is moral, legal, or even remotely acceptable from a business perspective.

They admitted nothing. It’s not happening. You’re just libeling.

Apple opposes Right to Repair (1, 2) and slows down old phones (NPR, BBC) which leads to people buying new phones earlier which is shit for the environment and of course not really owning a product you bought is shit, drove their factory workers to suicde (The Guardian), they are anti-competitive with their app-store, their products are overpriced, blablabla - don't buy Apple.
(yeah yeah, Apple isn't the worst, but that doesn't validate buying their crap or even claiming it's "good")

I don't see any evidence for expressions or for uploading to the cloud. However, this site suffers from a confusing interface and the top link points me here where I think sometimes on a post you think it's going to link some other article when you submit it, and instead it links to the article thread as here. So if there is another article, please link to it.
It seems like the company would be violating its fiduciary duty to its stockholders not to be making a stockpile of this stuff to sell to secret agents. Imagine Trump able to see, in real time, the aggregated and individual reactions of every person watching his speech while on a phone. Imagine knowing which women are secretly impatient or contemptuous while talking to their boyfriends, and being ready to make the first move. Or the same for company mergers with billions in stock value in play. Possibilities are endless and it would be immoral for the company not to make money off that.
