  • It’s hard to know. The article is super brief and mostly is rehashing the context of what happened with Britain and Apple up to this point. This is the only paragraph I could find that seemed like actual new events:

    Tulsi Gabbard, the U.S. director of national intelligence, said in a social media post on Monday night that Britain had “agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a ‘back door’ that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties.”

    The article states that Britain will spare Apple from creating a tool to give the government access to cloud data but then the only quote they provide is ambiguous as to whether this is only an exemption for Americans. In the article they state neither Apple nor the UK government commented.

    Tl;dr: We don’t know exactly. Might have to find reporting from a better source as this article is super light on facts.


  • And the post implies that most men do.”

    I don’t agree this is the implication. The comic is juxtaposing how men might see a bunch of single women as an opportunity whereas women might see a bunch of single men as a threat. It doesn’t have to be all or even most men in that group for the threat to be real.

    Also how is the data not relevant? The data is literally quantifying the problem this comic is addressing: this is a problem that disproportionately victimizes women and the perpetrators are often men, by a large margin. That is literally the basis for why the woman is unsettled whereas the man is relatively carefree.
