The entire EU is in flames ever since they allowed "sideloading". Every device is compromised, people are eating their children to survive.
This is what Apple and macrumors users actually believe.
Company CEOs have to learn that companies obey the laws of the countries they operate on, not the other way around.
Better yet, repeal DMCA 1201 and ALL associated other country equivalent 'anti-circumvention' laws.
AND ALSO force monopolies, like Apple, to open like the EU did.
Apple would prefer that users are limited to only their scams.
Clearly they have never met an Australian.
I’m concerned because I was close to suggesting that anything Apple is against must be good. But I like their stance on privacy. Them going so hard on making a point about being anti-consumer may harm future privacy efforts.
Until I can run the code I wrote onto the hardware I bought without restrictions or timeouts, it’s not sideloading. _That_ is what regulators should have forced Apple to do.
I think the word "warn" is a bit of editorializing (by the Guardian, originally). They're just making the same argument in Australia that they did before the EU.
Or else what?

> Apple warns Australia
Who the heck does Apple think they are?
Also, why doesnt Apple "warn" China for the well documented privacy/security implications in that country?
