Blocking an app explicitly used by terrorists to organize a coup/assault on the Capitol might be considered justifiable by some.

Most of the planning was actually performed on Twitter. This has be substantiated by the FBI.

Neither was it an attempted coup nor much of an assault. The protesters even dispersed voluntarily - if it has been an actual insurrection, the national guard would have arrested the participants that day. As it is, they're still trying to figure out who was even there.

I don’t know man, seeing them beat an officer sure seems like it was an assault to me.

> As it is, theyre still trying to figure out who was even there

Except for the hundreds of people that video tapes themselves, I’m assuming?

I heard some of them were using Safari, Apple should remove Safari from iPhones too so everyone is safer.
