Lmao, this is the most entitled bullshit excuse for willful ignorance I’ve read since Trump claimed he didn’t know he wasn’t allowed to steal top secret documents because nobody told him espionage was against the law.
And your response is the most arrogant boot licking BS excuse for intellectual analysis I've read since Mike Lindell insisted Trump won the election. Apple is not a mom and pop shop so when they control so much of our means to connect they damn sure should be scrutinized. You may not agree with that sentiment but a growing number of people who understand the issues sure do. This includes a growing number of regulators from around the world. Japan, the European Union and the United States are all in various stages of addressing this issue. Despite your bravado you don't have the moral or intellectual high ground here.
Which bit of this does Apple own? The beeper app? The iMac? The code that beeper wrote to communicate with Apple's libraries? Apple doesn't own shit here. It's why they're being investigated for breaking beeper multiple times. You can let Daddy Apple hit you harder if you want but consumers don't have to take it. I'm hoping you're a troll because nobody can be this stupid without really really trying.
And no, you can't kick people out from your service at any time without cause. It turns out when you sell somebody a product that relies on services you agree to provide those services, what these people do on their Android phone with another company named beeper is none of your damn business. You can't ban them. It's fucked up. It isn't entitled to expect the products you bought from Apple to continue to work. Despite what you do with your Android phone to say otherwise is insane. So again, I hope your troll or that you come to realize that you have rights as a consumer. Anyway, I'm tapping out on this one. Have a good evening everybody.
They own the servers and the services that run on them.
Apple owns its servers. Apple owns its services. And when you use them while breaking the rules, they get to kick you off of both. You are not entitled to anything.
