This is false.

True story.
*Today, Apple finally let me use my own iPad* (after years as a hostage).

Hence, this is also false.

Given all the aqccount information was bogus, I had to literally show them a government issued ID card (how's that for privacy) to unlock my own iPad!

Note my account information (login/passwd) never changed!
Note I never logged out of the account so that never changed either.

You're not telling the whole story.

The whole story he is trying to tell you are forced to log into the apple servers and there no button to
say no way Josay, I'm fine without iCloud ecosystem. Go away. Forever, until *I* will have decided I need to connect to your fucking useless servers.
