> "These protections," Apple's blog said, "help reduce some of the privacy and security risks to iOS users in the EU," but "Apple has less ability to address other risks—including apps that contain scams, fraud, and abuse, or that expose users to illicit, objectionable, or harmful content."
Let me bring out my violin for all you poor unknowing Europeans, whose lives are about to be ruined for eternity. You may not know it, but you have been enjoying a life of happiness and innocence, not because the world is peaceful, but because of a mysterious protector in the shadows, standing outside your window in the rain, thanklessly defending you against the horrors of the world, such as.. objectionable content. The gates of hell are about to open, and there’s nothing you can do! All I want you to know, dear user, is that a whatever happens, don’t blame Apple Incorporated. They fought until the very end, for the right to protect you.

- survirtual 3y agoThe post you're replying to was humor, likening Apple to a crime-fighting, thankless hero like Batman, when it is clearly a very greedy profit seeking mega-corp, serving its own interests at the costs of everyone else. The objectionable content are other app stores and apps not subject to Apple's draconian controls due to the European regulations.

- bilekas 3y agoI was half tempted to ask if post was serious, given the almost cult-like behaviour I've seen the last few years towards multi Billion dollar companies recently has me questioning!
