If someone told you that they need to restrict freedom of speech to increase the security of the state you'd probably be rightly miffed.
This same argument is being used to stifle my freedom to run the programs that I want to run on a device I supposedly own. My freedom.
Now you may sugar coat it anyway you like but essentially your opinion is costing me my freedom.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Example:
I want an Apple Watch. Requires an apple phone to operate. I can't run open source apps I use daily on iOS. Ergo facto no liberty.
Honestly 2020s tech blows in so many ways. We fucked up. Go back. Lol
- jaywalk 5y agoYou can't compare Apple to the government. Apple does not have any ability to compel you to do anything, and in fact you have many other options besides using their products. With the government... not so much.
