Free speech doesn’t seem to be very important for Apple
Let me know when they stop supporting the single most democratized mass communications medium the world has ever known.
we as a society should only allow that if we also force Apple to put everything in the App store which is covered by free speech.
You may not like what Apple chooses to sell, but if you want to replace their freedom to do so with the government, I don't really think you've thought that through.
ISPs, for example, shouldn’t be allowed to filter out whatever they want.
So...spam? Free speech, right?
- ugh 17y agoMaking sure that there is plurality in the media is a task of the state. That’s my opinion, alright. I have thought that through. (That first sentence is also a true statement in at least some countries.)
- GHFigs 17y agoMaking sure that there is plurality in the media is a task of the state. You've left a massive gap between ensuring it can exist and the forcing of retailers to stock it. That is something I'd like you to explain more clearly. Would you be willing to throw me in jail if I owned a book store but refused to stock a certain book or class of books?
- ugh 17y agoIf you were the only bookstore that is I would fine you, sure.
