    Owning black people was also the right of plantation owners. And Nazis said they had a lot of rights as well…

    If you think that something being a legal right means it morally should be, you’re on the wrong side of history.

      You’re comparing Apple to Nazis because they don’t want to be in business with a rapist scumbag?

        No, I’m saying just because we currently don’t regulate large corporations enough doesn’t mean they should have the right to fuck over anybody they want to

          As a privately owned company, they reserve the right to not support rapists.Stop advocating for a rapist.

            I don’t support rapists. That dude and people that want his app suck.

            But everybody deserves to be able to run whatever software there want on their devices. And no company should be able to tell you what to do with things that you own.

              Apple doesn’t have to provide a platform for a rapist. They have that right. Do you not support freedom?

                I support freedom for people. Apple is not a person.

                Also “platforms” like the one apple now operates is akin to a “platform” like mail which has been determined to be a right. The thing is popular opinion and regulations have not yet caught up to this, but we have never had singular corporations that have widespread control the way tech companies do now. I believe we need to rectify this and make sure that companies that act as platforms for the public stop meddling with what the public does on those platforms.

                    You also apparently never read or respond to the actual point other people are making.

                  a “platform” like mail which has been determined to be a right.

                  When was mail determined to be a right, and by whom?
