    I so loved that character.

    I ran this through DooleyFish and it came back “The Russians don’t like iPhones because they can’t hack them and would prefer that their government officials use something more hackable, like Android.”

    Thousands of top Russian officials and state employees have reportedly been banned from using iPhones and other Apple products over concerns they could serve as surreptitious spying tools for Western intelligence agencies...

    Russia's trade minister, according to a Financial Times report, said the new ban will take effect Monday, July 17. The move affects a variety of Apple products from iPhones, iPads, and laptops, and builds off of similar restrictions already put in place by the digital development ministry and state-owned defense conglomerate Rostec. Kremlin officials also advised staff working on Vladimir Putin's 2024 presidential re-election campaign against using a variety of US-developed smartphones over similar espionage conveners earlier this year...

    Russian intelligence officials last month accused the US National Security Agency of hackinginto thousands of Russian-owned iPhones and targeting the phones of foreign diplomats based in Russia... To be clear, Russian officials still haven't provided any clear evidence proving the alleged US conspiracy. Apple has also publicly denied the claims and recently told the Times it "has never worked with any government to build a backdoor into any Apple product, and never will."​

    Yeah, yeah. If any of thr civil rights or anti war protests of the 1960s had gone like that there would have been 10,000 dead and 50,000 in prison.
