Urge Apple to Remove iCloud Lock for Environment’s Sake

Проблема

As a company, Apple represents itself as caring about the environment. However, a shadow has fallen on this commitment due to the iCloud lock feature. Across the globe, millions of Apple devices are rendered unusable due to this feature, resulting in significant environmental harm as these devices often end up as electronic waste. An estimated 53.6 million metric tons of e-waste was generated worldwide in 2019, according to a Global E-waste Monitor 2020 report, with discarded mobile phones, laptops, televisions, and other digital waste constituting the fastest growing segment. The iCloud lock can exacerbate this issue by rendering devices unusable when their owners forget their login details or purchase a second hand device that's locked. The environmental implications are clear: more locked devices lead to more devices being discarded prematurely, contributing to the growing e-waste problem. We must urge Apple to reconsider this feature, balancing their duty to protect user information with their supposed commitment to environmental responsibility. Sign this petition now and help us put pressure on Apple to remove the iCloud lock feature. This is not just about user convenience, it's about saving our planet!
