Anyone got Tim Cook's number? If you do, bet you can get some, uh, exposure for this problem real quick.

"We must keep fighting for the kind of world we want to live in. On this #DataPrivacyDay let us all insist on action and reform for vital privacy protections. The dangers are real and the consequences are too important." - Tim Cook today in what is now a bit ironic

I think it’s inappropriate to make (or imply) a call to action in a public forum to violate the privacy of a public figure (or anyone, but a public figure in this case). There’s low probability that Tim’s personal accounts or devices are easily accessible by the public, and I assume he has a team dedicated to his personal security, but let’s not encourage folks to start scheming...

I know.
I didnt want to post his supposedly actual public email for fear of being accused of doxxing him.

I doubt he has his public email hooked up to his iPhone's iMessage/FaceTime, anyways.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple has their own internal iCloud network. Just like Google has their Apps for Business, Apple could have one but just inwards-facing and not hosting any other business.
This means even if you have his internal FaceTime/iMessage ID, you wouldn't be able to contact him because his account and yours exist in 2 realms.
Then again I guess he'd need an external-facing one for public VVIP to FaceTime him. Maybe he just carries 2 phones?

Apple has iCloud@Work, but I don't think it supports iMessage and FaceTime.

That's what the sockpuppet account and TOR is for.

I suppose I did suggest trying to convict Apple with aiding in wiretapping, I really don't think being the one they are aiding is a good idea...

I use [email protected]. Full disclosure: so far, it's been one-way correspondence; I've yet to hear back.
