Shitty headline. Their concern is that there's no way for a 3rd party app to disable the mic on iPhones. They're not worried about iOS being insecure, just that if someone wanted to use one to record sensitive conversations, there's no way they can stop that happening.
IIRC they added the album to everyone's iTunes accounts without asking, I guess if a user had automatic downloads enabled they would've downloaded it without giving permission. It was a dick move.
They can't "push whatever they want" though.
Except the "ownership" of a U2 album I guess. Was it an "opt-in" situation, or did people just suddenly own a U2 album?
