    That's not entirely true, *I* did it and I do have one - and it
    functions well enough - to save you all the risk. I trust myself to be
    able to fix most drive-by maliciousnesses and Jimmy-baby isn't smart
    enough to find one that would defeat me.

    Here's the expanded linkie:


    https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2021/08/19/report-apple-censors-anti-communist-engravings-on-products-in-china-hong-kong-taiwan/

    Note: if you look at the name of the source website cited you may
    wish not to go there.

    It's not the world's most unbiased reporting organisation. Indeed, it
    is so not valued among genuine GoodGuy reporters that I am surprised
    that anyone would cite it as a primary source for anything. You may as
    well cite Microsoft's Encarta or the Vatican.

    And you bigot stop posting such brainless stuff.

    There is almost as much chance of this as there is of Donny Dumptruck generously buying my sister a house for no reward, of a priest
    admitting his religion has been a scam for two millennia, of Archaic
    Poo of sci.math going to school to learn remedial mathematics or of a politician refusing "campaign contributions".

    Haters gotta hate and zealots gotta zeal. You may as well try to
    argue a Jehovah's Witless out of going next door to annoy your
    neighbours after interrupting you as ask an Internet wassoch out of
    winging.

    The best that we can do is to killfile and to ignore them. Without
    responses, they *do* fuck off.

    Eventually.

    It is Nazi-Propaganda of the worst kind.

    A lot of user without brain think exactely the same. Evidence is telling
    us something very different. Especially about Windows-users like you:

    "Worst"? I highly doubt this. I've seen much, much worse than that
    gentle little thing. Still, that may well be one reason little Jimmy
    hides his source URLs, because if he didn't not even I would risk
    going near them.

    Note, I didn't *read* the cited page, just expanded the URL for
    others to judge the quality of the source.

    I'm not entirely stupid. :)

    definitely not the worst.

    breitbart is good for a laugh.

    as usual, they get it wrong. apple isn't censoring anything.

    china is censoring what can be engraved by chinese customers in china,
    which also applies to any company doing business there.

    Okay, warning taken in good part but I'm still an arrogant, obnoxious
    little git so sometimes -rarely - I'll risk some things.

    Not often.

    But thanks for the nice warning.


    X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 4.2/32.1118

    Yerp, that's me. I never claimed anything different, did I?


    I know there are other readers but I like Agent. Are you telling me
    it's an attack surface? If so, thank you.
