>Neither "society" nor "voters" nor "corporations" make these decisions. It is always an arbitrary person who does. Except in this case, a corporation (Apple) is making the decision relative to the sexual mores of modern Western society and the child pornography laws of the United States. It's unlikely this decision was made and implemented randomly by a single "arbitrary" individual. Contrary to your claim, it's never an arbitrary person. And yes, I believe Apple has the right to decide how you use their product, including what bytes can and cannot be sent on it. >Should one person surrender his agency into the hands of another? We do that all the time, that's a fundamental aspect of living in a society. But in this specific case, no one is forcing you to use an Apple phone, so you're not surrendering your agency, you're trading it in exchange for whatever convenience or features lead you to prefer an Apple product over competitors. That's still your choice to make. |

I hate this argument. If Apple wants to claim ownership of _their_ products then they shouldn't sell them. They should lease them.
