I just can't take this anymore. How is this not literally illegal? Right to Own, Apple
It would definitely be interesting to see this go to a major court. I imagine Apple will argue you’re free to do whatever you want on your device but that that does not extend to iMessage servers because those requires accepting pretty strict terms of service and will argue the users are breaking the EULA which they agreed to. Apple will argue they have the right to run their servers as they see fit.
We need new regulations around corporations that run these pseudo-commons platforms as “legit capitalist platforms.”
A ton of US politicians are looking at this, so hopefully laws get passed.
