Apple Shares Manual on How to Lock Down Devices When Personal Safety is at Risk

This is very, VERY cool. I hate to heap too much praise on a $1t corporation in the year 2020, but this will absolutely save lives and help people get free from abusive situations.

Proud to be an Apple fanboy today

Why do you hate to heap praise on a $1t corporation in the year 2020? Really just curious.

As the head of IT for a DV Hotline, I sincerely appreciate Apple for publishing this document and to MacRumors for helping to get the word out. The effect of the pandemic and the shelter-in-place orders on victims of domestic and intimate partner violence is not entirely known since they don't have the freedom to reach out. Technology can be a great help to get survivors to safety but it is also a common way that abuse occurs.

I really, really don’t want to get too political since this is a non-political thread, but billionaires have added $1t to their worth during the pandemic while a lot of my friends can’t pay their rent and don’t know where their next meal is coming from.

I know people may disagree, whatever, but it’s a really difficult juxtaposition to swallow morally.

I'm one of those that still don't know where my next meal is coming from, but that's just because of where I was at financially when all this started. I never felt like anyone who had money was taking money that would have otherwise gone to me. Maybe I'm wrong. But I agree, this isn't a political thread, so this'll be my last remark on the subject.
