1. It's not as simple as "not doing business with apple". There are serious social ramifications to not having an iPhone in the US.
2. Even if I choose to do business with them, I should still have Rights as a customer.

It's not easy

Okay, aside from 1 ascii character being off, have any meaningful response to what I meant with my comment?

No, I'm saying just because we currently don't regulate large corporations enough doesn't mean they should have the right to fuck over anybody they want to

No, protection from government persecution is just what the 2nd amendment to the United States Constitution provides.

The general concept of freedom of speech is larger than that, and there is nothing about a large powerful corporation that should mean they are allowed to fuck you over for what you say

Owning black people was also the right of plantation owners. And Nazis said they had a lot of rights as well...

If you think that something being a legal right means it morally should be, you're on the wrong side of history.

It is arbitrary. There is no court. There is no jury. There is no impartial third party to appeal to. Their terms of service are so vague that they could give any bs reason to take down anything they want. And they have done this to take down perfectly reasonable apps that are just critical of apple in the past.

I'm aware of it. But this is not the same as letting Nazis hang out in your bar turning it into a Nazi bad, you don't have to even interact, see, or be aware of the shitty things that others do with their own devices.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

While I truly believe the dude and his app are bad, Apple shouldn't be able to both arbitrarily remove whatever apps they want from the store, but disallow loading apps from places other than the store.
