Apple should have paid the workers for having to wait in line. That has been rectified. However, Apple did not violate anyone's privacy. Said workers were made aware of the policy before they were hired.
Got a tip for us?

Tim Cook Responds to Facebook Criticism of iOS App Tracking Transparency Changes, Says It's 'Hard To Argue Against' Privacy

So why was there a big deal made about it if all the workers knew about it. That don't sound right to me.
The big deal was that the workers were mad that they were having to wait to be searched without being paid for their time.
Ok, not a big deal. I was under the understanding that there were shenanigans going on with the search itself. I worked a job where 30 people had to time in in a 3 min period or be marked late. You had to enter a reason for being late, you should have seen what I put in. HA HA. I never got fired so they didn't even read the reasons.
Poor Timmy.
He does not look like a very happy bunny

Will Swisher be allowed to ask Cook anything about China? My guess is no.
I agree about Facebook but Apple won't ban it, but they banned Parler for being free speech site. For first time ever, I recommended to a friend he get an Android so he could sideload the parler app. I also wish Tim who wants to forget he's from Alabama to stop meddling in election laws designed to make elections transparent and fair. But we all know the woke corporations love stolen elections.
Change the channel and you won't get so tired and triggered. Ha, by Californians no less!
Facebook ads have NEVER been effective at anything other than creating revenue for Facebook. I've been sucked into FB ads before, and tried a few times. Not once have I said to myself "I'm glad I paid for FB advertising - that ad was really effective and I now have more business because of it"
Unless you’re arguing with China. Or Russia.
But yeah for anyone else, go to town, Tim Tim.

Too far off home-base, just ask Snowden.
But that is not what this is about. It's about the way private companies treat your data. So yeah go Tim.
Not sure if 'duplicitous' is the right word; Apple is publicly clear about what it does and doesn't do with respect to law enforcement and privacy; see their FAQ, written specifically for law enforcement officials:
And a pretty interesting 'Transparency Report':
Privacy - Transparency Report - Apple

As for Apple creating their own data-driven ecosystem, you're probably right, but assuming you're allowed to opt-in (or out) every step of the way, I'm not sure what the issue would be.
The only people whining are the ones that loose money on this. Im happy to keep my privacy when I want to.

Is Tim somehow forced to attend official communist events in China? Can't he say no?
You’re COMPLETELY wrong about that statement, it was a reactionary move on Apples part after being caught.

This story is about Apple and Facebook.
When people are suddenly so shocked about privacy when it was clearly laid out in the Terms and Service, I find hysterical. Then complain about it as if it were a crime against humanity.
It was laid out in the Terms and Conditions/Service. Not all of us (myself included) ever bothered to read them.
That being said, I like how Apple is giving us a choice that is more streamlined and easier to read.

Sadly, I think it's really about some people getting emotionally triggered by seeing a picture of Tim Cook. It really doesn't matter what the story or subject matter is. The success Apple has achieved over the years under his leadership will never be enough for some, and provokes jealousy and anger in others. Lashing out is a satisfying feel-good response.
Look at all the FB Trolls that showed up to make fun of the picture.
