This EU citizen thinks that Apple should go pound sand
"For the first time, pornography apps are available on iPhone from other marketplaces — apps we’ve never allowed on the App Store because of the risks they create, especially for children," the California-based company said in a press release.
Yea, because European parents are known for buying children expensive iPhones, unlocking it to allow third party Apps and install porn Apps right away. It is called parental control…
The case doesn’t sound constructed at all.
The classical "think of the children" argument. They truly are desperate to keep their walled garden. The EU is doing the right thing.
Except when they're ID-gating the entire internet. Or dismantling encryption.
The horror! Just imagine if children were able to access the exact same content from Apple's Safari browser! 😱🖕
Jokes on you, I have a third party porn app on my phone. And I’m a child.
Not in my age though, just a manchild….
The company further claimed that the European Commission has almost exclusively focused its enforcement measures on Apple. The iPhone manufacturer has been targeted by the commission five times, which it says is more than all other competitors combined.
That's because you have significantly more restrictions than all other competitors combined.
the commission should preventively sue google for what they are planning to do with their full lockdown of android in 2 years. their plans almost certainly violate the dma by artificially restricting 3rd party app stores. bonus point would be that apple couldn't say this anymore.
Yeah well:
- That's then and this is now
- They haven't even figured out how to effectively stop Apple so I'm not too confident in their abilities.
It's like Jack the Ripper complaining about the police chasing him, with all the other murderers that are also around.
Shocking news: New law against lead in daher exclusively targets the company that puts lead in water!
That means they should keep it.
Mafia demands removal of laws regarding organized crime, and to make extortion legal.
“Why won’t you guys think of the children!”
With the recent push for age verification in the UK, they saw an opening that will let them wall up the garden again.
The EU has plenty of talent and ideas. (ESA? RasPi? ARM?) It needs to liberate its people from dependence on US corps and create its own net economy, infrastructure and great sites.
Here in the US? time for these trillionaire monopolists to get their due. Good to see InternetArchive.eu get established!
Shut the fuck Apple, you are US company. Get out of here.
I say we should get rid of Apple.
How about the USA adopts instead? How about that, Tim apple?
Apple can suck my dick anytime. Shitty company.
kate says apple should give me a billion dolar
Oh no. Not pornography apps. Whatever will we do. Aaah.
