I have no hope that the solution can be solved through lawfare. The ability of one company to control what the vast majority of people can do with their phones is unacceptable, regardless of what happens with this one app.


Indeed. Web app, SMS, Signal, etc. Have to decouple from centralized systems.


The vast majority of the people on this planet have never touched an iphone. Android dominates basically everywhere outside north america and, interestingly, the DPRK.


Google does the same with the rest of the population, don't they? The methods are different, but the results are the same.


They make some policies, restrictions and changes to their revenue confiscation schemes in lockstep with Apple, or they lag behind them by some years.

But yes, eventually the results are the same: the frog gets boiled.


Except the phones that aren't useing googles app store, such as many Chinese phones and grapheneos users.
