Apple CEO Tim Cook Calling for Bloomberg to Retract Its Chinese Spy Chip Story

[flagged]

Good because Bloomberg seems to feel entitled to behave like a new incarnation of the New York Times, maligning with impunity.

i'd rather these big companies like apple faceboook google, to own up to their security breaches and waste less time on bloomberg crap

It’s fascinating to see this story unfold. On one end you have Bloomberg doubling down on their claims, and here you have Apple making a move that shows their confidence in their claims.

For a while I was buying the subpoena theory, but this action clearly doesn’t fall under that, and they would be setting themselves up for serious liability / damage claims if it were true.

Either there is some gross miscommunication going on inside Apple and Tim Cook is not properly informed - which is very unlikely at this point - or there might be less truth to Bloomberg’s story.

The frustrating thing is, we’ll probably never know the answer.

Allegations of a security breach is useless without evidence backing it up. So far, Bloomberg has provided zero evidence.
