      No, protection from government persecution is just what the 2nd amendment to the United States Constitution provides.

      The general concept of freedom of speech is larger than that, and there is nothing about a large powerful corporation that should mean they are allowed to fuck you over for what you say

          Okay, aside from 1 ascii character being off, have any meaningful response to what I meant with my comment?

              1. It’s not as simple as “not doing business with apple”. There are serious social ramifications to not having an iPhone in the US.
              2. Even if I choose to do business with them, I should still have Rights as a customer.

              It’s not easy

                  Terms of service can be incredibly one sided. And you don’t have the option to not agree or negotiate, and still use the hardware you paid for in a reasonable way.

                If there actually were serious ramifications to not having an Iphone in the US, then Android wouldn’t have more than 40% market share.

                The only thing you guys have a problem with are pompous snooty egomaniacs who care about the OS on someone else’s phone.

                Why do you care what other people think about the brand of phone you use? And I say this as someone who has an iPhone. I don’t give a shit if someone thinks I have an iPhone or a Nokia 3310. Why would I?
