How the US and Israel are creating a digital dystopia, with a view to cracking the security barrier
Posted October 06, 2020 18:19:23By now, you’ve probably noticed that Apple has started cracking the digital security barriers in the US, with the latest release of iOS 8.1 releasing iOS 7.1.1 and iOS 7 beta 2.0.
The US government has also introduced an iPhone XS Max, the new iPhone with an edge-to-edge OLED display, and Apple has also launched a pair of new models with a larger screen and larger batteries.
In addition, the US has begun cracking down on Chinese and Taiwanese businesses that buy their products from China, in the name of preventing “foreign interference” in US technology.
The US has also announced plans to crack down on the “unpatriotic” practices of some Chinese software vendors and has begun rolling out a new rule that bans US citizens from importing the software from foreign vendors.
Finally, US intelligence officials are reportedly in talks with Israel to begin cracking down against the Israeli spy ring that has been operating in the region for decades, with some officials claiming the US would be prepared to strike the group.
While there’s been much talk about how US tech firms are taking advantage of the current political climate to try to disrupt foreign governments, Apple and Google have made it clear that they’re just as concerned about US tech companies doing the same.
The two tech giants have also begun building their own cybersecurity policies, including a new set of rules that are designed to give them more control over what US companies do with their data.
In short, they’re making it very clear that US companies will not tolerate foreign governments spying on their customers or employees, or hacking into their systems.
“The fact that we have two US companies that are the primary gatekeepers of our information, that they own all of our data, and that they have the ability to stop us, is extremely concerning,” said Matt Wood, the chief technology officer at The Information, a group that helps US tech and business companies secure their data and prevent its leakage to foreign intelligence agencies.
“If the United States were to get in that business, we’d probably not be able to get our data back.”
This kind of security is a huge deal, because it’s a big part of the reason why Google is one of the world’s largest companies, but Apple has always struggled to maintain its global reach.
It was able to make it easier for Google to access data through the search giant’s servers, but Google’s data leakage is a massive issue that the US government is actively trying to address.
It has also become more difficult for US companies to build security programs that don’t depend on third-party software, and these days it’s even harder to find a way to get software developers to update their products.
Apple and Google are not alone in this.
In the US Congress, US Representative Adam Schiff, the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, has introduced a bill that would require software vendors to add extra security features to their products if they want them to be able “to comply with laws and court orders that require companies to take security measures.”
Apple’s own policies on its security are also very clear, though it’s not as straightforward as it might seem.
The company has already been accused of violating federal law by allowing an undocumented Mexican drug cartel to use a backdoor to unlock iPhones, which Apple is still trying to reverse.
The company also recently began to sell a device that lets people use it to encrypt files, but this feature is only available for select customers.
This kind, in-house, solution is what makes Apple the dominant player in the security business in the world, but it’s also why the company is worried about US companies.
The security industry is very different from the IT industry.
Most companies have a core group of staff who build and maintain security software, or have engineers who build security products.
They also have an internal team that focuses on security, as opposed to a more public-facing security team that oversees and reviews the products and the industry at large.
The IT industry is much more centralized and much less open, so there’s a lot less oversight.
And that’s a problem because security is an industry that requires lots of attention, especially if you’re an enterprise or a government.
There are a few big players in the IT world, though.
Intel is the world leader in chip design, and the company’s chief security officer, James Chen, has said that he has no problem working for a government agency that has access to his company’s code.
He also said that it’s important for IT companies to be very open about what they’re doing.
“We need to be as open as we can,” Chen said.
“I don’t think that we need to hide our code in the shadows.
We have to be open about who we are, what we’re doing, and why we’re going out there
