The App Store Was Always Authoritarian - Infrequently Noted

Apple bent the knee for months, leaving many commentators to ask why. But the reasons are not mysterious: Apple wants things that only the government can provide, things that will defend and extend it...

This piece comes 🤏 so close to connecting the dots between app store monopolies that allow govs to censor what people install on their phones and the open web where the gov would have a real hard time, but then just... doesn't.

Signals flip the script. React renders where you create state. Signals render where you use state. Same state, but you are pushed into patterns that will lead to better performance by default. One paradigm shift away from memoization hell. 🎯

Fascisme krijgt ruimte door een hardnekkige misvatting: dat jij het niet kunt stoppen. Dat klopt niet. Gezamenlijk kunnen we ons weren tegen de woede en het wantrouwen die onze democratie overspoelen, schrijft @rosansmits.bsky.social.

At a critical moment, the tech press are failing to connect the dots between Apple and Google's craven capitulations and the authoritarianism they have nurtured within their own ecosystems:

We're talking about us, the people, depending on two companies that act as the single gateway for software to reach our phones. These companies just went ahead and bent the knee to Trump & Co, and did their bidding.

No court order. Not even a formal complaint.

We need journalism that *interprets* these facts, explains what it means.

Facts and objectivism are fine when reporting on the weather. But we're talking about the removal of software that people used to avoid Gestapo from kidnapping them, and it didn't even take a court order to get it done.

It's wild to me that (most?) tech journalists opted for a "we'll report on it, but just the facts, and let people make up their own minds"-approach regarding the removal of the ICE tracking apps from the app stores.

So Apple is censoring another ICE-spotting app, and I think we need to talk about the coverage, as much as Apple's groveling pre-compliance.

@404media.co broke this, specifically @josephcox.bsky.social, and unlike some previous coverage, it includes this:

404media.co/apple-banned-an-….

"The website for Eyes Up which functions essentially the same way is still available. The site includes a map with dots that visitors can click on, which then plays a video from that location. Users are able to submit their own videos for inclusion. Mark said he manually reviews every video before it is uploaded to the service, to check its content and its location. "
