During the revolution, could Apple block or tamper with all iphones such that revolutionaries cannot communicate? (lemmygrad.ml)

Would it?

If Russia did another communist revolution, Apple probably would face more damage in doing anything overtly than they’d gain from just silently participating in PRISM and doing nothing at all.

What if it was the West? Particularly, the USA?

There’s no way a communist revolution would work in the USA right now so you’re going to need more context in this hypothetical world where a communist revolution has a chance of succeeding.

I wish it were possible to believe otherwise, but history doesn’t seem to support that belief.

Regardless, say that a communist revolution was happening in the USA. Would Apple sabbotage the iphones?

Would depend on whether it would be in their interests to do so IMHO

You could make the case either way
