If the point of the channels is to share strategic information related to your oppressive regime, it's disingenuous to claim they "channels aren't being asked to be shutdown" when having delete those specific messages has the same impact - making the channels defunct - and giving Apple a plausible deniability scapegoat/gaslighting of "buT wE DIdn'T asK THeM to tAkE doWn tHE chAnnEL."
Apple is taking sides with an oppressor by requesting this, that they're choosing to ignore the circumstances - where doxxing otherwise generally is bad because generally it's not reasonable - is not reasonable and lacking nuance.
- zenexer 6y agoCorrect. Apple is demanding that the posts be removed. Apple is not forcing the posts to be removed—as evidenced by the fact that Telegram is still in the App Store and the posts/channels remain visible on Android. This doesn’t help Apple’s case at all. Apple is garbage here. It’s an important distinction for protesters, who don’t need to panic as long as they’re not on iOS. However, if a protester were to read this title, they would get the wrong information.
