- chewmieser 3y agoThey really thought that Apple couldn’t block it when they originally announced it. Obviously that was not accurate…
- MBCook 3y agoI always thought that was weird. Apple controls every single device that accesses the service as well as the design of the service itself. They have effectively infinite latitude to change it to block unauthorized access. Even if it took Apple a month or two to respond every time, how many times does it take before basically everyone gives up on Beeper anyway? I can get why they did it the first time for the PR value and raising the issue in public consciousness but I can’t see any value in continuing to fight past that first block.
- athorax 3y agoWhy? Its clear after 2 attempts that Apple is serious about continuing to break their business model, so why keep fighting a company with unlimited resources that has their sights set on you?
- dmitrygr 3y agoThe way you phrase this makes it sound like “ why would I work so hard to break into this house if the owner is clearly more resourced than I am, and insists on breaking my business model of using their stuff for free” Apple owns those servers and has every right to control how they are accessed.
- athorax 3y agoI can't help if that is how you interpreted what I said, but I fully agree apple is well within their rights to block this type of usage.
