app store censorship.txt
19:01 < rachel> yay censorship :D
19:02 < rachel> let's all cheer that google and apple have the ability to shut down any app they want
19:02 < rachel> definitely don't question the power that gives them
19:04 < rachel> imagine if microsoft could have just uninstalled bittorrent and limewire from people's computers in 2000
19:14 < rachel> there is no other way, realistically, for people to install software onto their phones
19:14 < rachel> no karen is going to install an apk via usb
19:15 < rachel> this was an intentional design decision made by apple and google when they created their phones with app stores, censorship was the purpose all along
19:15 < rachel> they saw the problem with general purpose computing - people could install any software they wanted, and that was a threat to the ruling class
19:24 < rachel> they started out claiming it was for "your protection" to "keep you safe from viruses" but they have become so entrenched into our society that they can now start to show their true purpose
19:24 < rachel> if they were using it for censorship from day 1 it would have caused an outrage
