All this bill would have done is ensure that people in North Dakota no longer have access to various app stores.

- kelnos 6y agoYeah, I kinda feel like Apple would consider "customers in North Dakota" as a small enough number that it'd be more important to them to keep the status quo than keep the customers. And customers from ND would just get pissed at their elected representatives and pressure them to repeal the law. And in the meantime they'd go to another state to buy their iPhone or iPad or have an out-of-state relative buy it for them and mail it to them. Unfortunately this kind of law needs to be from a state like CA or NY (or quite a few smaller states) for it to be effective.
- mcphage 6y agoIt probably wouldn’t have done even that—the bill applied only to companies based in North Dakota, who make over $10 million per year through app stores they run. So, nobody. It was just to get the ball rolling.
