After enforcing sanctions against Iran ( which btw has one of vibrant tech environments in the region) App store now rejectst even Iranian developers and users outside Iran! Why do you guys at silicone valley ignoring the repetition of this kind of behavior from Google, Apple , Oracle and others ? Isn't it against diversity? Isn't it against freedom of information? Ps: Iran has the biggest community on Telegram and the 7th biggest Instagram users!

Perhaps you should read more carefully what they said and realize its not Apple its the US Government.

While I am dismayed at the policies of the US Government, I don't think its necessarily the purview of Apple, Google, Oracle and other companies to argue on your behalf.
