At Apple’s secretive Global Police Summit at its Cupertino headquarters, cops from seven countries learned how to use a host of Apple products like the iPhone, Vision Pro and CarPlay for surveillance and policing work.

It was just about time for this to be made public. It was like an open secret for everyone in the know.

You can also add the fact that Apple blocks all ads and trackers... except their own.

Incredible how many people skip the article and substitute their own reality before commenting.

Article says nothing about Apple allowing law enforcement access to any user data.

There has always been plenty to criticize about Apple, but some of you people see their name and just get so [TRIGGERED]

Yep.

I'd happily crap on them for being an e-waste factory, for making it insanely hard to install anything outside of their app store, etc.

This ain't it. This is nothing.

What is the open secret? That Apple sells iPhones to the police? That’s what the article says…

[–] mbirth@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

Yes, finally, cops don’t need to go to an Apple store undercover or need to buy their iPhone on the black market.

The secret is finally out!

Cops use iPhones, too.
