Yes, I'm OK with that, because it's in the contract. It's what developers sign on when joining Apple's App Store. This isn't about being dangerous or not, but about Apple's App Store being clearly Apple's property. Like it or hate it, you don't go and shout on someone's property, against the host's rules, without expecting to be kicked out. As a developer, if you don't like it, then don't distribute your apps on Apple's App Store. As a consumer, if you don't like it, then don't buy Apple's products. It's as simple as voting with your wallet. And I realize that due to Apple's size, it's not easy to avoid their App Store. But complaining about it won't help. Also, fuck Facebook, fuck Epic Games. I may regret this later, but I'm always glad when privacy-invading companies suffer.

I mean as a user not as a developer, are you fine if a judge will declare that Apple can force developers not to say certain things, not to link to certain pages that Apple does not want? If you are OK with Apple doing that then are you OK with Google and Microsoft doing the same? Second question, why as a user you are OK with Apple preventing developer to inform you of better deals? It is just a piece of text with a link, you are not forced to click the link, is this information causing you some kind of "damage/distrss"? When the average user buys an iPhone do they get a giant EULA read to them and there it says in the clear "by using our product you agree that Apple will hide better financial deals for you because it can hurt our shareholders ?" If judges in US will premit Apple to do whatever they want Google will have the green light to be as shitty as Apple, lock the store, do even more censorship, maybe Chrome and Google Search can also hide websites that Google does not like, you can use Safari if you don't like it.
