It's these kinds of stories that remind me that governments are not the only bodies of control that laboring people must contend with -- corporations have just as much, if not more in some cases, power.
The worst part about corporate power is that writing laws to restrict the kinds of nonsense Apple and Google do is hard as fuck, tends to trample on more general rights. On the other hand, not doing anything lets the government pressure the corps to do stuff the government can't do, like censor stuff pretty indiscriminately, and is basically playing a straw libertarian that's merely allergic to the word "government" - private Ingsoc is fine.
