You are wording this in a way that it implies that this (block) happens by ios. That's not true and you know it.

The plot is far-fetched, but that's not the problem. It's the writing style - it feels like a cheap thriller written for teens. Too many characters and cheap tricks to 'educate' the reader about technical mumbo-jumbo. Of

Really? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple/apple-says-iphones-... It wasn't Android. Apple did this deliberately, and only apologized when they got caught. It's a ritual to bash Android and Google

Your Western counterparts also complain when Western government does this. You have a really huge chip on those shoulders.

> The simple example here being how Google seems to prioritize "current news", particularly those clicked the most often, over actual search results. Funny how I still don't see two links: 1. Google search for a keyword 2.

Looks like you know for a fact that an App on Android is somehow granted more permission compared to the same App in ios - without users knowing it. Care to prove your blatant lie with some evidence, or you are just going to bash Google&#x2

To me, it seems all this long explanation is just posturing when a simple example would have proven your point.

> As someone that grew up on a farm, can you explain why? One reason is sheer hypocrisy of the country to force developing or under-developed countries to stop subsidizing _their own_ farming.

You must be joking if your argument is that a closed system is in any way superior to an open one. Android lets you install apps outside of play store, without any hard tech knowledge. That's not possible on Apple devices unless you ar

Read it again - it's about the monopoly on App Store. It's like buying a car and only able to use gas sold by that company.

So you would make the same argument for Facebook, YouTube too? Or, as I have learned from HN, different rules apply to Apple vs rest of the tech companies?

While I agree with your sentiment, I don't know if butthurt has anything to do with homophobia. Butt is not same as butthole.
