The reaction comes after the New York Times revealed about the special relationship between Apple and China. Accordingly, Apple is accused of being a tool to help the Chinese government “monitor and censor user data”. Telegram “father” believes that Apple is selling outdated hardware devices at too high a price. In addition, the billionaire also criticized Apple’s business model and said that the company is “selling outdated hardware devices at too high a price to customers and locking them in the ecosystem of Apple. the firm”. “Every time I have to use the app on my iPhone, I feel like I have to go back to the Middle Ages. The 60 Hz screen of the iPhone offers an experience that is not as good as the 120 Hz screens on many Android smartphones today,” Durov shared. Not stopping there, the billionaire also added that outdated hardware is not the real problem of iPhones. The worst thing Apple is doing is not allowing users to install apps from sources other than the App Store. At the same time, users cannot use services other than iCloud to back up the device. In the past, the “father” of Telegram and Apple had many conflicts. In 2018, Apple removed the Telegram app from the App Store due to concerns about child pornography on the platform. In July 2020, Telegram accused Apple of monopolizing the European Commission. Most recently, in mid-January, Apple was sued by a non-profit organization called “Coalition for a Safer Web” for not removing Telegram, accusing it of being used by hate groups and extremists. use.

Recently, the shocking investigation of New York Times shows that Apple has tacit agreements and about data sharing in China. Taking the opportunity, Durov commented on his Telegram channel that Apple was operating under the direction of China.

Durov also said that Apple’s business model is based on “selling outdated, expensive hardware to customers in this company’s ecosystem”. He added that the 60 Hz screen of the iPhone cannot compete with the 120 Hz products of Android phones and iOS is an outdated software. According to Durov, the worst part is that iPhone users are seen as the company’s “digital slaves”. Specifically, they are only allowed to install apps from the App Store and back up data on iCloud. “It’s no surprise that Apple’s authoritarian approach is appreciated by China, allowing the country to have full control over the apps and data of all its citizens,” Durov said. Ironically, Apple was sued earlier this year for allowing Telegram to work on the App Store. According to the Coalition for a Safer Web (CSW), the app is used by opposition groups and extremists as a communication channel to spread misinformation and racial divisions in the US and Europe. .

In the slums more than 10 kilometers from Bucharest, Roman families specialize in making a living by burning rubbish for metal. The ingredients for burning are varied, from broken computers to electric cables. “I will sell them (after burning product) to metal buyers. We have to work one to two weeks to get a kilo of metal, ”said Mihai Bratu, a Roma person in the village of Sintesti, a suburb of Bucharest. Like many Roman communities across Romania, the slums of Sintesti have long been neglected by the authorities. This place now consists of temporary houses, spontaneous wire grids and trash. Octavian Berceanu, head of the Romanian Environmental Protection Agency, the pollution from the relentless burning scrap sites is becoming excessively serious. He began frequent raids in Roman living areas. He said that residents here can be considered “modern slaves” are under pressure of a mafia-style system. “This is a kind of slavery, because people here don’t have the opportunity to go to school, find jobs in the city, don’t have the basic infrastructure conditions like the official electricity network, clean water or roads. Sipunculus. This ruined their lives, ”said Octavian Berceanu. Mr. Berceanu repeatedly raided the Roman slums to stop burning rubbish for metal. It is illegal to burn garbage in spontaneous landfills. It has also resulted in heavy air pollution for the Bucharest metropolitan area. Police officers prevented a woman from entering an area where people used to burn trash. Romanian riot police are deployed in these raids to support environmental forces. A piece of computer components was seized by Romanian environmental forces in the raid.

This has negative consequences: They have little education, poor facilities and development level is low, “Gelu Duminica, director of a non-governmental organization dedicated to helping the Romans, said. Duminica argues that the government’s targeting of Romans, rather than the large industries or more than a million cars in the capital, Bucharest, shows them as “sacrifices” as part of their marketing campaign Politicians.
