Apple reaffirms privacy stance amid Trump probe revelationsSeeking to protect its image as a guardian of personal privacy, Apple maintains it was blindsided and handcuffed by a Trump administration probe that resulted in the company handing over phone data from two Democratic congressmen. Apple delivered its version of events Friday in response to news reports detailing the U.S. Justice Department's aggressive attempts to use its legal power to identify leaks tied to an investigation into former President Donald Trump's ties to Russia. The Justice Department was able to persuade a federal grand jury to issue a subpoena that culminated in Apple turning over the metadata — information that can include general records of calls and texts — about House Intelligence Committee members Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, both California Democrats, during 2018. DOJ convened a grand jury? Who was on this jury and what was presented. apple caved to the fascist government to protect themselves and thought this would remain a secret. This privacy crap is a marketing ploy by Apple. Just another dishonest company trying to sell more phones!
