Oh absolutely. Bondi demanded (!) they remove the app. Why would anyone think she won't demand they remove others?

Trump does a dozen FDRs a day, going by the news that's coming out.
I find it so funny the mental gymnastics people do to justify his actions, especially with whataboutisms.
Sure maybe FDR was bad. Right now trump is bad, and that should be addressed.

#174FWIW, everyone who claims that Apple fundamentally needs the centralized ability to control apps on their platforms "for everyone's safety" -- despite how that obviously and repeatedly makes them become patsies for governments all over the world to enforce their censorship regimes -- are complicit in this stuff (in addition, of course, to the people who build it at Apple...).
> are complicit in this stuff I don’t know that that is fair. This framing is designed to shame people into feeling guilty for their point of view, rather than their actions. Being complicit means to be knowingly involved in or facilitating an illegal or wrongdoing act. In my books, it requires a level of participation that I don’t think your characterization meets.
They knowingly created the systems they built around having centralized control, everyone told them the consequences of doing that, they did it anyway, this is the result, they are responsible.

#175Google is making it so sideloading APKs on Android is no longer possible. This is one of many great reasons why that should not happen.

For all the talk of Trump being Hitler, I never saw any real tax protest movement to defund the regime...
Because I have no interest in attracting the apocalyptic ire that is the Internal Revenue Service. You don't fuck with the organization that took down Al Capone or that even the _Joker_ is deathly afraid of.
