Apple removed ICEBlock reportedly after direct pressure from Department of Justice officials. “I am incredibly disappointed by Apple's actions today. Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move,” the developer said.
Right, you can’t break the law. Gun manufacturers are very explicitly not responsible if you break the law with one of the items they manufactured.
This is more like the gun manufacturer coming back two years after you bought it and preventing you from using bullets from a vendor they don’t approve of.
No it’s not. When you buy a gun you’re not buying it with web connected software running it that is constantly updated and changed, and is actually a selling point, that you knew about when you bought it, and that you agreed to.
I feel like I am feeding a troll, but let me break this down:
If you have a gun, you can point it at anything and pull the trigger, you don’t need the permission of the manufacturer to do so.
Not with a phone, you CAN’T load any software you want into your phone.
That’s the difference, you can do whatever you want with a gun, and if you mess up, you go to jail. You can’t do whatever you want with your phone, only what the corp.s (apple) allow you to.
It should

Thats Apples and Oranges. Owning a phone is not like owning a a gun.

Taking away functionality is a selling point? What a load of bullshit.
What a fucking stupid moronic take. Go back to reddit

They can do whatever they want with them, that’s why we have shootings.

If they couldn’t, then they wouldn’t, but they obviously can, because they do. This is not complicated.

If they don’t break the law then yes
