    Yeah, I’m sure every beeper user knew the details of the iMessage tos and deserves to be locked out of a major selling point of the iMac they purchased because they tried to get access to that feature on an android phone. It’s incredibly unlikely anyone getting banned knew it was a possibility.

    Just because apple put some bs in a TOS doesn’t make it moral or even necessarily legal.

    Anyway maybe don’t be a shill for making the world worse for consumers even if you were correct with this terrible take.

        And your response is the most arrogant boot licking BS excuse for intellectual analysis I’ve read since Mike Lindell insisted Trump won the election. Apple is not a mom and pop shop so when they control so much of our means to connect they damn sure should be scrutinized. You may not agree with that sentiment but a growing number of people who understand the issues sure do. This includes a growing number of regulators from around the world. Japan, the European Union and the United States are all in various stages of addressing this issue. Despite your bravado you don’t have the moral or intellectual high ground here.

            To be fair, you’re the one crying and twisting yourself around to defend the worlds biggest company here. What’s really funny is when you talk about “the rules” when I just outlined how international law is about to change the rules. It appears it’s you who isn’t happy with the rules and therefore you who is the massive hypocrite. You don’t like it? Well too bad. Start your own country then you lazy cry baby. 😉

            just so your chat bubbles can be blue, you massive hypocrites. Ha!

            I’m constantly blown away at the number of people who think issue is actually about bubble colors…

                😂 no, it isn’t.

                You can get it on hundreds of other services if the people you talk to also use those other services.

                The problem is that they don’t because Apple does not allow you to use any other service with SMS fallback.
