For those not aware, a few months ago after reaching out to me, YouTube contacted the App Store stating that Juno does not adhere to YouTube guidelines and modifies the website in a way they don’t approve of, and alludes to their trademarks and iconography.
I don’t personally agree with this, as Juno is just a web view, and acts as little more than a browser extension that modifies CSS to make the website and video player look more “visionOS” like.
We should be fighting the laws that enable them to do this shit instead of whining about how Apple is adhering to them being allowed to protect their IP from people circumventing their bullshit forced ads.
Apple, for all their faults elsewhere, is only complying to what YouTube and a legal right to do. Don’t like it? Go after the law. Not those that abide it.
The problem isn’t Apple. It’s the laws that allow YouTube to do the heinous bullshit they do.
Man. Lemmy really needs a stickied post in every community that defines nuance and how to properly use it in everyday situations.
