Apple to Europe: „Your laws are bad for us, therefore we are withholding unrelated features from your citizens and do everything possible to lobby against your laws.“
Apple in the USA: „We only follow the laws and orders of our authoritarian government, there is nothing we can do against it.“

This citizen of Europe is withholding money from Apple by a
total boycott of apple products and services.
I also encourage others to do the same.

I can close the account next springtime.

@Kerplunk That is admirable, but for many people it’s not an option.
”sideload […] mostly from FDroid” seems to imply that you’re running Android (Google), and that you are running applications from an ”official” app store as well. Are you?
Here in Sweden, you are basically locked out of many government and private services if you don’t use either the Apple or Google app stores. BankID, the banks’ common authentication system, only works through those.
