How does this relate to my original comment about apple being anti-poor? My question was: why should apple be pro-poor? There are other manufacturers. I think I see now why I was flagged, people understood me wrong. My point was: apple is higher-tier smartphone tech, so it doesn't have to attend to "poor people" (to be defined). Other manufacturers happily do. So the original argument doesn't make any sense.
- mrtksn 2y agoMy guess is that you framing this as forced charity and dismissing the these devices as a "human right" may have an annoyed people. That would have brought the downvotes , but the flagging is probably because of your tone. Anyway, These regulations are not about Apple. They are about fixing market dynamics issues to protect customers and other businesses. That’s why they target by market share.
- RamblingCTO 2y agoYeah might be. I was only referring to the comment from the top about apple being "anti-poor" when there are other, more affordable options. But too late to recover from that haha. I agree about tackling market dynamics though. Anti-competitive behaviour is a shitty thing independent of economic standing.
