Apple removed ICEBlock reportedly after direct pressure from Department of Justice officials. “I am incredibly disappointed by Apple's actions today. Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move,” the developer said.

    Was there any reason to make this an ios app as opposed to a website hosted outside the US? I’m really not surprised by the removal. What did they expect? All the Tech CEOs came to the inauguration with bags of cash.

    With this and Google stopping side loading in Android, I’m going to be looking hard into Linux phones.

      They’re not stopping it, they are planning to introduce it to the platform; no one sideloads on Android today, because it’s not a walled garden yet.

      Wrong

      “Ownership“ doesn’t mean “I can do whatever I want with it”.

          you think people who own guns should be allowed to “do whatever they want” with them?

          how many mass shootings do we already have each week?

        So go pander to them.

        If I own something, I can do whatever I like with it because it’s mine.

        If I can’t do what I like, it’s not truly mine.

          it never meant that you can do whatever you want.

    Stop. Fucking. Using. Apple. Products.

    Why would you pay 1k+ for a phone you don’t even own/control?
