Since the "1984 incident" I trust Amazon even less than I trust Apple. At least Apple doesn't yank music/apps/whatever off their customers' devices.

- tsetse-fly 17y agoWhy would it be technically difficult for Apple to remove apps from your phone? Implementing a backdoor in your own software is fairly trivial.
