Wow, it includes a Marvel game. That’s so fucking weird. Disney has a game that is banned on iOS because it’s owned by a foreign adversary.

The world makes less and less sense post 2016.

"Adversary"

Unlike the incoming technocracy, obviously.

Well, they're a domestic adversary, not a foreign one

TL;DR; executive order < law

Apple is doing something good here regardless of what you feel about tiktok. Don't bend over backwards to do what Trump might want or demands without legal backing. Make the administration force you every step of the way

I.e. don't be a pathetic extreme right collaborator like zuck or bezos

It’s at least something. Too bad no one else has the balls to do this.
