Apple bows to Kremlin pressure to remove leading VPNs from Russian AppStore

How about not having different app stores for every region?
How is that supposed to help? Should apple remove these Apps globally then? Not that governments would stop pressuring to censor.
The real answer is to let people load apps from outside of the App Store.
If you’re going to run an AppStore, you’re going to be subject to the laws of every country, and you’ll have to segment it by region.

Yes!
This has been possible for awhile now
Better not having different regions at all.
yes, that's the goal of the ccp and communism in general. how's that going for the chinese?
That is definitely in no way what so ever a goal of communism. At all. Period. The CCP is not an example of actual communism.
excellent point, so, now let's look at every other institution of communism in the real world so far, russia, cuba, oops, looks like real communism is impossible and that it always, everytime devolves into a more personally and socially restrictive nightmare because human beings aren't able to keep their idealism and their realities working together for any length of time, at all. but but but you say real communism hasn't been tried, but but but i say, real communism is impossible.
Just because terrible people use the LABEL of communism and some LIMITED language to gaslight their populace does not magically make THEM the arbiters of what the ideology of communism means... It has not been practiced because it was terrible POWER REGIMES that created those governments. That is literally the antithesis of the ideology of communism, but no you go ahead and keep listening to people who DEMONSTRATE they're not communist...
You keep choosing to let literally evil people define your world and remain oblivious as to why the world remains evil...
Stop letting evil people twist words, and the words will suddenly make sense, dummy!
The problem is that evil people exist. They always take over these systems
We may be able to have communism one day, but we need an intelligence system in place first that can't be corrupted by evil people, since even if we had the perfect human who avoided all attempts to kill them, well, humans are mortal and the next one may not be as lucky or as good
Wholly agreed. We clearly need a system far more robust than the US's "checks and balances", clearly.
yes, naturally, it's the words, and the ideas behind those words, that are important, not the actual application of those words and ideas. got it. this is a no true scotsman argument.
No, it's pointing out the basic fact of life that peoples' words and actions often do not line up. Especially when talking about politicians.
Yeah!!! Hold everyone accountable to everyone’s rules! You can only get it if literally nobody has a problem with it.
Yeah that sounds great, you’re a real genius
So all the shit banned in China, North Korea, etc. we lose it too then? You fucking moron
I see from your post history, it’s full of great comments. Not sure why your reaction here was so harsh. I hope your day is going okay.
Perhaps I wasn’t clear. I meant have one app store and ignore those governments who want to ban apps.
Also, being able to directly load apps on your devices is way better anyway.
