Apple is only beholden to it's shareholder and I have 0 influence on their behavior.
Not directed at you, but I don't get how people can complain about unaccountable politicians and then turn towards even less accountable boards of directors instead.
- hayst4ck 3y agoI agree in theory that a company should not be the arbiter, but the reality is that the company is less dysfunctional than the government and less beholden to political powers. If we had a government that would regulate away dark patterns and generally do things in the interest of us, that would be great. We don't have that. I think I have more influence over apple than I have over the us government. I think apple works on behalf of me more than the us government does. I've made that calculation differently than you, so we've come to different conclusions.
