I feel you, I am the sole developer of https://ember.ly

Certainly feels great to have your livelyhood kicked to the curb by some rich american megacorporation throwing a tantrum.

The worst part is that probably 40 percent of the development time has been trying to wrangle my way around weird rendering quirks in safari, never again. My next site will have a banner suggesting safari users open the site in firefox..

As a Norwegian / Norwegian company, is there even any politician you can write to?

Norway as an independent actor is too small to carry any weight in this matter. Our best bet is to hedge our interest as an extended member of the European Union, and even there we have a limited say.

Ask the users to return their broken phones, demand a full refund, and buy an android instead.
