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.

Lmao, this is the most entitled bullshit excuse for willful ignorance I’ve read since Trump claimed he didn’t know he wasn’t allowed to steal top secret documents because nobody told him espionage was against the law.

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.
