I finally want an equivalent to f-droid for the iphone. Other people don't have to activate it on their phones.

We as a society don't have an obligation to design the world in a way that allows corporations to extract maximum value from us.

So is Russia and this is just politics and they have no public interest in mind - especially safety and reducing complexity. American companies are raking in obscene amounts of money everywhere and are leaving the local competition with no path to creating a business. When they cannot compete,they legislate.

Two options:

    A) Apple will comply
    B) Apple will leave the EU market
What will happen?
