Aside from the Principality of Sealand, is there a country whose laws reflect your ideology? Genuinely curious.
But to answer your question, apple is first and foremost a US company.

Sealand doesn't seem all that socialist to me but I'm not very familiar with it.

Rights != what the law says rights are. Else it wouldn't be possible for the state to violate your rights on a large scale.
Anyway, Apple is subject to the laws of every country it operates in.
I'm fairly leftist, and I support a pretty strong freedom of speech, but I'm also familiar enough with other rights to see how they get balanced against one another, a la "the right to swing your fist ends at my face." I read popehat, because the authors are attorneys specializing in the first amendment. They defend people I find deplorable; they've got politics I disagree with. But I keep reading, because they're experts and it's a good source of fact.
