Not the main point of the case, but I am curious how his account was terminated. Apple does that much less often than Google does (you're not posting death threats in YouTube comments using your Apple account). I'm also curious how he purchased $25k of apps and videos in only two years. Even if this is an extreme case, I hope that Apple (and other platforms) are forced to change their language and/or provide more guarantees of access.

> but I am curious how his account was terminated. Most of the time the giants do not tell you what you done wrong. My son managed to get my Sony account banned for 2 months(from all online stuff including the PS Plus that I am I paid a year subscription), there is no way to appeal and the only thing Sony told me in the notification email is that it is about violence or sexual stuff , so fuck knows what t could be about , I know he shared some screenshots with weapons from a game - would be ironic to get flagged by game screenshots or it could be just malicious people reporting you (may idiotic kids are online playing Fortnite and are threatening each other with reports). In my case i decided I will no longer buy any new product from Sony and I will probably jailbreak the console when I think the online features are no longer worth it.

Same here, my daughter got a big Apple account banned by messing with the associated email address, lost access to my "purchases" indefinitely. So I abandoned Apple's platform, I think it was around the time of iPhone 5. I bought only Android after that, bye bye Apple and your stealing ways, ten years later I haven't forgotten what you did or forgiven you. I bet during this interval you lost more than what you stole from me! During this time I bought at least 4 flagship phones and God knows how many apps from the competition.
