I was appalled at the accompanying video with this article. Apparently the daughter is getting all manner of evil responses from complete Internet losers. The Internet has become the source of most evil in the world because of anonymity. People release their innermost hate and vitriol since no one knows their name. The Internet is the most vicious social network in existence.

Finally, I think AI management should have turned off the comments for this article like they do for political ones. There’s no reason for it.

Your first paragraph has merit. Technology has added much value to our lives, and also a lowering of communication standards and virtue in many online interactions.

However, just because you deem a topic or comments to be undeserving of your continued interest or validity is no reason to suggest censoring those of us who find the discussion with merit.

and beyond that, I have noticed a similar coarse attitude on your part during many commenting sessions. And not that it is wrong on your part, just that it takes a village of commenters to round out a discussion, and explore the merits of the many points of view. No censorship is the standard to be hoped for.

i thank AI for allowing this discussion to proceed.

And if you were he, you would have to put your other foot up your own ass for compromising your career, considering he was the person at fault allowing for the activity to occur.

Firing is appropriate but now very messy.

Of course, I am not privy to the details of the fathers error beyond the article. But, all parties could come out ahead by making this incident a teachable moment where this apparently well respected employee could continue in some capacity at Apple. All employees, management and the public in general would benefit from witnessing Apple again as an entity with a compassionate corporate ethos and yet would reaffirm and strengthen their policy against this breach internally.  Being that it is a public problem now, the family is contrite, remorseful and apologetic and are still clearly Apple boosters, all parties can gain in an Apple PR sensitive move. The Public beyond Apple will be watching this in hopes of slinging arrows at Apple, as always.

The Apple Upgrade Program and pre approval made the transaction quick and simple.  What a breeze.
