Yeah these guys are overcomplying and promoting censorship. Never seen a big tech company take this stance. Fuck them. Post Covid big tech is shady as.
All Apple had to do was age verify their App Store. And on that they had the nerve to force it a month before quietly releasing a on device facial age estimation option rather than just rely on id or credit card. Forcing many to use id/credit card when esafety would have been lenient enough to wait.


All the more reason to use forums, fediverse services like Lemmy and Mastodon and private e2ee e-mail services. If you want to paid e-mail account benefits make sure the service lets you mail in cash. Fuck big tech. Good news is that, I’m logged in here on Lemmy and it’s way faster than Reddit as it doesn’t have all the overhead of ads and tracking scripts.
Wow by censorship do you mean Apple literally enforce the Great Firewall blocklist at device level? If so wild.
