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 people jump to the “he is just doing what he needs to do” argument because they don’t Want to believe it. They want to believe that Apple is somehow better and therefore Cook has to be somehow not evil too.

But no: he is supporting a fascist government, which makes him complicit.

There’s also a segment of Apple fans who worship capitalism, and that includes some prominent Apple bloggers.
