I don't want to inject needless cynicism, but why did you think that Apple was doing "the right thing" before and what exactly did that entail according to you?

I don't want to inject needless cynicism, but why did you think that Apple was doing "the right thing" before and what exactly did that entail according to you? It just seems like strange to attribute those goals to a company specializing in Veblen goods.
- egocentric 6y agoI've never thought Apple was a saint - they've always been a for-profit company. But I've always thought they'd want to do the right thing with regards to this issue, because to do so is a win-win situation: they protect customers, and long-term generate more profit through increased consumer trust & spending on their brand. This case, however, demonstrates to me that their policing system is so full of inexplicably large holes, that we have to go back to ask what it means to "want" to solve this problem. It just doesn't seem they want to solve it that bad.
