I don't think robbing Apple of their property rights is an example of nature healing. Don't publish on their servers if you don't like their rules. Don't buy their devices if you don't really want them. Don't develop for their platform if you don't like how they treat developers. Don't use their products if you don't like how they treat users.

But all of that's nonsense. Nah. It's much better to keep buying their shit (that you obviously don't really want) and building for their garbage platform while running to daddy government to force them to be what you want them to be.

Buy other hardware. Use other software. Build for other platforms. You may feel like you're winning, but all of this just expands government power and reduces property rights.

Does apple have right to 30% of every peer-to-peer transaction on venmo, cashapp, paypal, zelle, bank of america?

Yes, if those are the terms of having the app hosted on their servers.

elsat 8mo ago

I see.

And what if these terms are not specified?

Matt 8mo ago

Then they aren't terms. Are you trying to make a point?

Trying to understand through the lens of private property rights why apple threatens ban of certain p2p apps, and not others.

Private property rights don't require a reason you can rationalize. It only needs to make sense for them. That's literally the whole point of private property rights.

Personally, I think they're a bunch of fucking morons for it but that's why I don't give them any of my money. But that doesn't mean I want to abolish their right to do stupid shit with their own property.

That depends. Is there any world in which you would stop using any of those services based on how much money they give to Apple?
