Someone please explain this to me. Apple is not my service provider. How can they prevent me from going to whatever sites I please? Would a VPN stop this?

They can't, for now. But probably only a matter of time before ISP's start blocking access to "unapproved" sites, you know, like China does.

So some random Tweet says this and you advance it?

I’m sure some leftists (after all, Satan never sleeps) are trying to force Apple to do something like this but I’ve seen nothing indicating that Apple is “threatening” anyone.

“Trump is not a dictator.”

The GOP stupidly green lighted this Big Tech censorship because they wanted to get rid of Trump. It already bit them in the behind in GA. And they couldn’t care less. They want us dead and gone THAT bad.

Are Apples’s stores fireproof ? Asking for a mostly peaceful friend.

All day Twitter conservatives have been creating or publicizing Parler accounts in expectation of becoming part of the wholesale ban supposedly justified by the “attempted coup” yesterday. Accounts with many thousands of followers have already been suspended. But nearly everyone who uses Parler reads it on an iPhone. Without the app, Parler will die . . . and that’s the point.

This would be a good reason to abandon Apple, except that Android will probably be next.

“I use a real PC.”

Me too.

Many people use OpenDNS to block lookups of porn and illegit websites. How long until OpenDNS starts blocking sites FOR MY PROTECTION — BULL.

You don’t need to use OpenDNS but how many will even know this is going on? Likely to be behind ones back censoring.

I’m actually surprised Android (owned by Google) hasn’t done it already.

China doesn’t allow anti-chinese sentiment.

And we’re now China so there’s that.

Big Tech is your new government who tells the old government what to do.
