    So its OK for Facebook and Twitter to propagate vaccine lies that hurt people but Amazon can get Fakespot removed because it says that it does not perfectly identify fake reviews?  Oh, I get it, "show me the money"
    Next time read the article before commenting.

    Yeah, but that’s not why it was removed was it. 

    Apple will not allow you to use your app to alter another app without permission. If you write an app to change the title of the Facebook app to ‘Fuckbook’ then Apple will remove that too. 

    As I’ve said, there is already a simple solution to this: use a share extension.

    Apple should not have to host any app they don't like in their app store.

    Apple should not be allowed to prevent me from installing any app I like on MY iPhone.

    There's a very simple solution here.  Apple MUST be forced to allow device owners to install software from any source they choose.  It's the same issue in the Epic case, I would never suggest that Apple should be forced to host Epic's software, but if Epic wants to distribute software outside of Apple's app store, any mechanism Apple uses to prevent that is clearly and blatantly an illegal abuse of their monopoly of the iOS software market.

    It's time for antitrust law to come down HARD on Apple.

    Every think you are talking about already exist.
    “There's a very simple solution here”: Just buy an Android en your problem would be solved. 
    Can you imagine, that there are also people who are buying iPhone, just because of Apple’s hosting of every app on its AppStore?

    You're right, it is simple! All you need to do is to agree that if the non-Apple-sanctioned app doesn't work or in any way damages your Apple device or in any way damages you physically, mentally, financially, or any other way, you will not receive any technical or repair support from Apple nor can you take any legal or civil action against Apple. And of course, if your non-Apple-sanctioned app causes any damage to any Apple-sanctioned apps, you will be libel for damages from legal actions by those apps developers.
    So... did you forget about Macs? Because they can run any app you like (for now) and none of the above applies.

    It applies, you just don't need to agree to it because it's obvious.  And I see no reason why it wouldn't be seen as obvious on iOS either, were Apple to open it up to non-App Store apps.

    It’s not your OS.  Nor is most of the hardware your intellectual property. So no. You can’t do whatever you want with it. 

    And “iOS software market”. What… that’s like the Toyota car market or the Kleenex Tissue market, right?   Good grief. 

    But you’ve never replied to any of the other times I or anyone else has said any of this in response to your same blatantly incorrect rhetoric. So I won’t expect you to this time either.  

    I think I’ve determined you’re not a paid shill because you’re not active enough for that. My new theory is you post this crap and then pull out the popcorn and watch just for laughs.

    Apple no more has a monopoly on its own store than McDonald’s has on its store or the Big Mac market. 

    You people need to find new hobbies, law ain’t it.
