Daniel Hruska Erected in January 2013, removed in November 2014. For less than two years, a monument to Steve Jobs stood in St. Petersburg. It was a two-meter enlargement of the iPhone, the display of which served as an interactive information board about Steve Jobs. Why did the monument have to come down?
He's to blame Tim Cook's statement regarding his sexual orientation. It is known that in Russia the promotion of homosexuality among children and adolescents is prohibited directly by law. This would probably not be enough as a reason in itself, but the monument stood on the grounds of the St. Petersburg Scientific Research University of Information Technologies, that is, where young people move.
In addition, a short article on Radio Free Europe mentions information about the statement of anti-homosexual activist Vitaly Milonov, according to which Cook should be banned from entering the country because he could bring AIDS, Ebola or gonorrhea. There is nothing left but to sigh over the whole situation, because in Russia anything is possible.
The second reason is also Apple's alleged collaboration with the NSA, at least that's how Maksim Dolgopolov, president of the Western European Financial Union company, which built the monument, sees it. Not so long ago, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden showed secret documents of the US security agency that they describe, how this organization can get into our iPhones. Tim Cook had this to say about the NSA: "There is no backdoor."
And I have to work with this material :/
But otherwise "there" Apple is snarling, isn't it? Maybe even a golden Apple?
In this regard, I am also interested in the attitude of countries where people rely on the Koran. Where "it" should perhaps also be equated with crime. By commandment.
It occurs to me that in these countries Apple could once again become a thoroughbred "think different", regardless of comparing standards with the surrounding technological world, through under-the-counter and "revolutionary towards the regime".
iPhone (as a symbol of homosexuality?) is not sold in Russia?
Russia thumbs up. A country where man is still man to man and sovereignty reigns.
A guy, being a guy, has no problem with the fact that some other male is male, female is female.
I am afraid that Russia is trying to act like a country of hysterics.
I haven't read a dumber opinion today :) respect :)
You're a nice lick.
