| From the OC: "Censorship: Apple manages a global set of App Stores and cooperates with law enforcement in each jurisdiction in which it operates. ..." Okay. We agree. What's the fix? -- This censorship food fight is at least two problems. #1 Which rule of law applies to international companies? This is foreign policy. Just like trade agreements, treaties. USA flagged corporations like Google, Apple, Facebook need a federal solution. Just like shipping, banking, and so forth. These corporations cannot act unilaterally, nor should they be expected to. I have no idea what an international treaty covering speech and privacy would look like. Please share any and all ideas. #2 Need for fair and impartial court system, legitimate enforcement. FAANGs cannot be governments onto themselves. If my app gets rejected, there must be a separate fair and impartial court system to hear my appeal and adjudicate. If an impersonator takes my profile, I need legitimate enforcement to restore my property rights. If a FAANG closes my accounts, I must have the right to sue for damages. -- Again: Enough complaining about unfair, arbitrary behavior. We get it. Start proposing solutions. |
That removes a lot of profit from their %30 cut although, so they are directly incentivized to prevent that from happening
