Yeah Someone’s comment on that post “When the DOJ sued to break up AT&T in 1984 they claimed it would open up the telecommunication market to fierce competition that would benefit the consumer. The settlement created fake competition by forcing AT&T to allow competitors to use its infrastructure to provide competing services. AT&T was forced to provide their network services at steep discounts to competitors sop they could undercut AT&T’s own prices. The argument for this was that the infrastructure was built by consumers paying AT&T as a protected monopoly. At first dozens of companies started selling dialtone and long distance. Guess what happened? One by one those companies failed and dropped out of market, leaving only AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. Fast forward to today and AT&T has reconstituted itself. When I bought my first Apple II there were dozens of PC hardware manufacturers to choose from. Again, one by one, they failed and dropped out of market. For the DOJ to say that Apple’s alleged monopoly caused the failure of Microsoft’s and Meta’s mobile phone efforts is beyond ridiculous. And the “social stigma” argument is beyond hilarious and approaches delusional.”

A quote from your link. Does anyone else see a problem with this? I thought that all of the moves against China by the US government the past few years, was to prevent China from gaining a space in the AI race. If this story is correct then I see the US government not looking favorably at Apple. Where is the talk about personal freedom and privacy?

The Chinese government has their rules, the US government has it's rules. As part of the Chinese rules, they AI system has to be one that is approved. This could include keeping data inside China. As mentioned, this would not impact devices outside of China. Just like the EU has rules for data residency, where data for EU residents needs to be kept in the EU, other countries have the same.
