    Yes, they should be legally required to open up access to their service. No more walled gardens that hold a large number of users hostage.

        That would be awesome, wouldn’t it be?

        Do you think we live in the best possible of worlds where nothing can be improved anymore?

          Like someone’s private property that they can kind of do what they want with? Makes sense.

                  I’d be more inclined to believe you if you weren’t throwing ad hominems around in what seems to be an amateurish effort to save face for some reason…

                    I don’t think you’re interested in reasoning at all, hence my disinterest in doing so. The Apple fanboys believe that everything Apple is good, even if it’s against their own interests.

                    I don’t like a company that deliberately manipulates people into recruiting more customers, like forcing them to exclude others from conversations because they have an android phone, but doing absolutely nothing to fix it, in fact, deliberately not fixing it and making the Apple users feel superior because “look what iMessage can do”. I mean yeah, I’ve been able to do what iMessage did since back when a thing called MXit or BlackBerry messenger was around. But of course there’s this assumption of superiority from the Apple users, because Apple is just superior right?

                    I was using a touch screen phone for like a year and a half before the iPhone even came out, but apparently it was Apple who revolutionised the market.

                    Just look at their shitty lightning cables, used for nothing but extortion.

                    But, the Apple dick suckers, will suck Apple dick until the day they die, because Steve Jobs, the person who perfected modern day planned obsolescence and has caused millions of tons of unnecessary e-waste, told them that by owning an apple product, they are superior.
