Of course i understand Apple should be rewarding hackers who research and report security flaws, and not punish them, but do they really need to support/allow hackers who don't intend to report these security flaws to Apple but instead use them to create jailbreaks?
Don't get me wrong I have nothing against jailbreaking, but Apple supporting the jailbreaking community well that sounds a little extreme...
- themartorana 11y agoThe problem is the angle here. Apple chooses to be arbiters of content. That shouldn't be their job. If the app used private APIs or misused background processing, it's good for us, the consumer, that Apple makes sure it doesn't get released in that fashion. But I reject that it's good for us, the (adult) consumer that Apple act as parental controls for adults. They're using a position of power to stifle speech. It doesn't matter if it's a First Amendment violation - it's still egregious.
