    I don’t support rapists. That dude and people that want his app suck.

    But everybody deserves to be able to run whatever software there want on their devices. And no company should be able to tell you what to do with things that you own.

      Apple doesn’t have to provide a platform for a rapist. They have that right. Do you not support freedom?

        I support freedom for people. Apple is not a person.

        Also “platforms” like the one apple now operates is akin to a “platform” like mail which has been determined to be a right. The thing is popular opinion and regulations have not yet caught up to this, but we have never had singular corporations that have widespread control the way tech companies do now. I believe we need to rectify this and make sure that companies that act as platforms for the public stop meddling with what the public does on those platforms.
