NEWS- Last Friday we congratulated ourselves on our Facebook page for the decision to come out of the closet of Tim Cook, Apple's executive director and successor to Steve Jobs at the helm of the company. Cook said in his statements "I am proud to be gay and I consider it to be one of the greatest gifts that God has given me" and he added that, despite not feeling like an activist, he was aware of how much he had benefited from the sacrifice of others, "Therefore, I think that knowing that Apple's CEO is gay can help someone recognize his own sexuality or can make someone who is lonely feel better or inspire more people to fight for equality, then I feel that the sacrifice of my own privacy is worthwhile "
Well, in Russia they have made their own interpretation of this gesture and consider that Cook's position violates the Russian law on homosexual propaganda. This time the gesture comes from the hand of the ZEFS, a business group that financed the project to build a giant iPhone in tribute to the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. In an official note, ZEFS has stated "After Cook publicly defended sodomy, the monument was removed in accordance with federal law."
The iPhone, more than two meters long, included an interactive screen and was installed in the courtyard of the National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics of the former tsarist capital.
Another argument put forward by the business group through the mouth of its president, Maxim Dolgopolov, was the complaint by Edward Snowden, a former CIA technician exiled in Russia, on the assumption that Apple products provide information about their users to the secret services Americans. For this reason he calls on the Russian population to do without them "I urge you to get rid not only of the IPhone, but of all the devices of that firm, which provides information about users to the US intelligence services. We will have to see the case that the Russians make and where the discarded products will go.
