We lost the fight for net neutrality. It took a while but more and more stories are coming out about companies punishing users who dont do xyz and that is perfectly legal for them to do. I'm sure eventually there will be lawsuits, or the current ones will resolve one way or another, about this.
By the way, altstore exists on iOS. Although it is very limited.
- astrange 3y agoWe never lost net neutrality, it was mandated in California as soon as it was deregulated federally and that was good enough to stop anyone from trying.
- AlwaysRock 3y agoBut we did... California has state laws around it but not every company is headquartered in California. Many companies also have tech specific to CA residents then tech that applies to everyone else.
- astrange 3y agoWhat matters is that so many people live in California that it wasn't worth developing policies for the other states. It doesn't always work (NYT lets you cancel online in California but not other places) but it did here. We already know ISPs stayed net neutral.
