The real worry is not the commercial angle, but the fact that centralized censorship of apps will remain.
Apple will retain the ability to shut off protest or encrypted communications/news/social apps, even when distributed outside of their store, by revoking the signatures.
This is a threat to a free society, not just a threat to Apple’s price-gouging revenue.
- TravisCooper 3y agoThis is the correct take. Well said.
- endisneigh 3y agoUse websites.
- sneak 3y agoWebsites can’t notify except via centralized Apple systems that can still censor.
- endisneigh 3y agoUse email
- sneak 3y agoEmail isn’t end to end encrypted.
- endisneigh 3y agoSo? You can notify regardless.
- threeseed 3y agoApple made it clear that they will not revoke apps for the content they provide only if they are used for malware or viruses. Given that they have not behaved similar with macOS we should assume the same here.
