Conflating app curation with supporting Assad's regime is just hyperbole. This dev has no more "right" to have his app published than I do to go into inside a private business and yell at the owner.
- GiraffeNecktie 14y agoWithin the rules of the Apple walled garden, yes, you're right. However, we should recognize that he has every right to publish his app in a more open venue. Having said that, the title of his rant is a little misleading in that there's nothing specifically hypocritical about Apple's stance. However much anyone might dislike their business model (i.e. curator/censor), that's their choice.
- greedo 14y agoWhy should we recognize that "he has every right...?" Going into business is not a right. Getting Apple to publish your app isn't a right. He simply wanted to make a political statement, and feels a sense of entitlement that Apple somehow owes it to him to publish his app. Apple owes him nothing.
