The protesters should start using Waze...what will Apple do then?
- _eht 7y agoBlock Waze geospatially. EZPZ. [Insert Taiwan flag emoji here]

- dang 7y agoHN is a plain text site, so please don't put emojis in HN comments. Unless they're plain text of course.
- _eht 7y agoAlright well that ruined the context of the commentary. Unfortunate. And now I can’t edit to make an appropriate adjustment. Neat. HN will edit your comments but not let you delete your account? Interesting precedent.
- dang 7y agoI've opened your GP comment for editing if you'd like to make an appropriate adjustment. Account deletion is a separate question, of course. On HN we try hard to balance individual interests, such as for privacy, with community interest, such as other people's comments not losing the context they were replying to. To judge by the reactions we hear from users, we're able to care of nearly everything that nearly everyone needs. But it does require emailing us, rather than using some mechanical feature that would just erase everything an account had ever posted.
- bluetidepro 7y agoI was thinking the same thing, there is plenty of apps that you can basically do this same functionality in? Why not just move to one of those to stop this from being able to happen? And FWIW, I'm still against Apple taking down the app from the store, but just also was curious why the app was ever needed in the first place (again, cause you can do literally this on apps like Waze)?
