So? Apple is a company that tries to make money. It's not a goverment funded organisation that is founded to serve its users with a fair and allround content.

If Apple decides to delete those threads than they should be able to do so.
- stanleydrew 16y agoNo one said they shouldn't be able to. It's interesting that they chose to though.
- bonsaitree 16y agoI wouldn't use the term "interesting" so much as "foolish". Much like Best Buy's recent firing/non-firing of that employee, the act itself only serves to add more fuel to the negative-PR fire.
- alanstorm 16y agoWhen has Negative PR kept a dominant technology company from remaining dominant?
- kevinh 16y agoIt depends on what sort of image the company wants to uphold. Do they want to be the company that goes out of their way to protect the rights of their customers with some less than perfect products, or do they want to be the company with perfect products that uses its customers as a means to its end, nothing more, nothing less? I doubt many people on the Apple forums weren't aware of the issue. Deleting the thread simply gives them more negative publicity.
- yock 16y agoAll too often this is the naive apologists cry: "It's their foo. They should be allowed to do with it whatever they want." It's a true enough statement, but it stumbles spectacularly wide of the point. Don't mistake the right to do something with the judgment of whether or not you should.
- napierzaza 16y agoNobody cares about government corruption anyway. But if you mess with my iPhone I will class action the crap out of you Apple! Especially since I can't go to the beach anymore.
