I actually read a whole book on the weaponization of human rights, and how some groups portray their cause as “noble” to get around the sticky questions such as motive and self-benefit. I’m not saying this exactly that, but there’s a lot of, “we’re doing this for you!” speech here that’s a bit out of line with the stakes of the problem…

Apple is doing it for our security and save the environment. If Apple can do it, others should be able to do it too.

After all, the whole SV is trying to make the world a better place, make humans interplanetary species, protect freedom of speech, democratise stuff etc.

I opt in to Apple’s work, whereas Beeper Mini was done on my behalf, which is the striking difference.

I really can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, I can read it both ways. Is it?

[mrtksn]

It is. The intent is to demonstrate that motives of the Beeper developer are not better or worse than those of the rest of the industry.
