Quit speculating. They weren't spamming viagra, they were promoting apps. As an iOS developer from day 1, who has had to deal with plenty of superfluous demands from Apple to get apps approved, I'm incredibly grateful to the French gov. for pushing back.
- seivan 14y agoI'm an iOS developer as well. Never had issues getting app onboards there, and believe me, some apps did not even deserve to get there. Quit playing the victim card, Apple does not owe you shit. Switch to Android and smile. After all, you're a pragmatic developer. Jeez, promoting apps my ass - they were extorting people for sending out spam via push notifications.
- maceo 14y agoIf you think Android is any better in this regard, you've missed the point. Maybe we should have just sat back and smiled when 100+ corporations and the US gov worked together to draft SOPA. After all, GoDaddy does not owe me shit. I'm not concerned with their shady business practices. It takes 5 seconds to uninstall an app, I do it all the time.
- seivan 14y agoYour politicians owe you shit. Your argument is moot. No I get your point, you want the Appstore to allow you to conduct questionable business. Good call there.
- maceo 14y agoThere was plenty of resistance to corporate power in response to SOPA. And it was absolutely justified. Right, because selling virtual Smurf Gold Coins is totally legit but charging developers for access to a marketing funnel is evil. Give me a break.
