I second to this.
I think that we, software developers have a moral obligation to make ethically right decisions. Supporting or ignoring app store business model(1) is in my opinion not one of them.
(1) this is, having one entity to control entry into market for everyone else - this creates monopolies - no, it does not matter that Apple has only 42% of the smart phone market share - it has 100% of iOS market share and is using its monopoly power to control this market.
- happyscrappy 11y agoWe should force everyone to have their security lowered to Android level is hardly the ethical summit.
- sp332 11y agoUsers should be in control of their phones. There's a big gap between allowing malware all over the place and limiting things to a single app store that takes a 30% cut and randomly delays updates or pulls apps altogether.
- eveningcoffee 11y agoYou are making it appear as Apple control over app store is about security when it is not. I would believe it when they blocked and removed only malicious applications but instead they are also removing applications that they think would compete with their own products or with their business strategy.
