No matter how well-intentioned, Apple is rolling out mass surveillance to the entire world with this. Make no mistake: if they can scan for kiddie porn today, they can scan for anything tomorrow.

In January a judge at the Old Bailey rejected an application by the US to extradite Julian Assange. Today the High Court had given the US limited permission to appeal. The US case will be funded by UK taxpayers; #Assange must pay for his defence.

'We have been warning that we could (lose) control. But our voices were not heard. The international community instead chose to side with an autocrat. They accompanied this man, so they bear a responsibility in what is going on now.' - Monique Clesca

If progressives in Congress aren’t standing up for the likes of Julian Assange and Steven Donziger then I’m not sure why they’re called progressives. If freedom of the press & the ability of corporations to prosecute private individuals doesn’t get you riled up then why are you there?
