And just so GP understands—I felt the need to downvote their comment explicitly because of that line at the end.

I understand. I'm just incredibly angry and tired at the ongoing attacks to our freedom. It's not something I can hold in.

It can't help our industry.

Honestly I did the same here. It completely undermines their argument and turns their comment into a whine-fest. I don't need to be told how to "think" about things and how I should allow more and more government into my life by some random internet commenter who's upset over downvotes (especially not from one who's not even associated with SV at all and has little to stand on).

Why does living in the valley constitute whether or not you can be opinionated about tech? Maybe I'm ignorant to the fact, but is this a belief that people hold?

> If you have good points corrective votes will happen.
I've seen corrective votes happen, but I wouldn't be so categorical in saying all votes are well reasoned and reward cogent argument.

The Law of Pointless Reward systems states -
Any random reward system produces community.
If the community has no shared goal or purpose, the random outcomes the reward system produces will be tolerated.
It's a comically bad idea to talk against Apple around here, but the guidelines are clear: don't talk about downvotes. If you have good points corrective votes will happen.
That being said, while Apple is strongly anti-consumer (in everything except for privacy), Facebook is orders of magnitude worse in more regards than merely celebrating choice. Definitely a great second contender, but the world would be genyinely better place without Facebook.
