Apple removes app created by Andrew Tate::Legal firm had said Real World Portal encouraged misogyny and there was evidence to suggest it is an illegal pyramid scheme

The reason why you should not have an iPhone. It is a walled garden and Apple is the ministry of truth in this walled garden.
I agree, but this is not the app to die for.
I love going onto the profiles of people that make dumbass comments like this because it’s never a 1 off dumb comment that got downvotes, it’s always that their profile is filled with either lazy troll comments or just stupid bullshit.
And this guy is certainly no exception, my favourite is him denying climate change and trying to claim that its all just a communist conspiracy.
Free heating for the masses?
Or stuff like:
oh wait, that was you…
Honestly, I don’t care if he’s a climate denier or full on conspiracy theorist about everything, even a broken clock is right twice a day right? So when they say something right, I acknowledge it (and even people like you that, based on their profile are usually a bit less crazy, occasionally say crazy things as above).
How far back in my comment history did you have to go to find that one lol
I do think it’s hilarious how you’re viciously defending fraud and pyramid schemes. “People MUST be allowed to rob other people, and Apple MUST help and support theft!”
Just amazing.
One thing I will say for the Open Source bros on here, they’re at least apolitically consistent. More than can be said for lots of ideologies these days.
I’m surprised there was an all caps free speech somewhere in there tbh. 😅
Sounds like you’re trying to justify defending a rapist.
I am criticizing the closed garden iOS ecosystem. This has nothing to do with Andrew Tate except the fact his app was censored for being “contraversal”.
“Controversial”? No - he’s an asshole and horrible person.
If your think he’s simply controversial then that says a lot more about you than Apple.
Apple should allow installing apps from third parties.
Apple should not let this asshole sell his app on their store.
Removed by mod
Google had this removed from the play store before lmao sure you could download the APK, but that’s way less user friendly and people he’s trying to target aren’t going to
Right, Google still allows some kind of freedom by allowing you to sideload the apk, while still doing the right thing and removing this abominations their store. Win win. Apple sucks (imho).
Dunno… this feels like the first genuinely good news I’ve heard apple linked with in a long while.
How is censorship good news? Yeah this is all about Andrew Tate, but that is not the point. The point is that censorship is bad and censorship can occur on centralized app stores were it is done for “politicial” reasons.
I don’t care if you think Andrew Tate is evil, it is the action of banning an app because “we do not like you”. That is the problem and Apple users have no choice since they are in a walled garden.
Yo, look into the tolerance paradox and get back to me
It’s funny, because not only does he really not get what a sheep he is, but I’ve pasted the link to it on Wikipedia to him twice already. He’s really trying his hardest to stay as ignorant as possible.
Ask him his opinion of tertiary education if you want a laugh :)
I’m not the person you were replying to, but here’s my take.
We don’t need to tolerate intolerance, but that’s different than “freedom of speech”. We can still refuse to tolerate intolerance while still protecting freedom (I’m purposefully ignoring the whole “inciting violence” and “pyramid scheme” that would make this illegal, not just controversial, for the sake of this argument).
Example: on Android, you can still sideload apps at your own risk, protecting freedom, while Google can still remove it from their store, and so refusing to tolerate intolerance. (wow am I really defending Google? Well I guess at least they used not to be evil).
Apple users do have a choice. Apple isn’t the only game in town. If those users disagree with Apple and want Tate shit, they can use a different platform.
So much choice! The can pick Android or … Android. Or Android.
Some censorship is good tbh.
“land of the free” my ass … that’s the world we live in …
You can’t claim to be the land of the free when your incarceration rate is the highest in the world.
Sigh
“le sigh” 🤣
I’m not justifying a racist here but I’m just here to say I like sideloading apks. Fuck Andrew Tate.
Somebody else gets it. Thanks
Then explain it better
While I would never need anything with Andrew Tate’s name on it, I absolutely agree with the statement and that’s why I stick with android. Upvoted.
