Glad to see Apple's leaders showing so much courage.

I'm sure their founders, and the historical heroes they love to quote on their homepage on important dates, would've been so proud of the courage and values they practice today.

Apple pulls ICEBlock from the App Store

Apple pulled the ICEBlock app from the iOS App Store, with AG Pam Bondi claiming it was at the DOJ’s request.

Are any of you still thinking Tim Cook is just doing what he "needs" to do, throwing his own reputation under the bus as a selfless act to protect a larger social well-being, rather than literally just *supporting* the Trump regime because the political favors he negotiates help his company make even more money?

Can we all finally see it now?

Would anyone bend over backwards so far to try to excuse this behavior for anyone else, or any other company, performing the same actions that Cook has?

@marcoarment so what to do? Return iPhones? Cancel iCloud?

@dgleich @marcoarment it's a tough one for sure. Trying to get away from Google has been near impossible, I can only imagine it's harder for Applers who have been using the gear for years now

Edit: also there appears nowhere to go

@bradley @marcoarment that’s the issue. There nowhere to go!
@dgleich @bradley @marcoarment every once in a while I think about switching to Android and then I remember that I hate Google even worse because they ARE worse. I could buy a Linux box to do some dev work, I guess, but a Mac is still a better machine for less for my work. Hooray, I’m stuck.
