eg5fv4··on Atta Elayyan, Developer of MetroTube and LazyWorm Apps, Killed in Christchurch
I think hate crimes are terrorism, and I think all terrorism is bad.

And yes, this creates a chilling effect for immigrants and churchgoers. That's the intended result.

I understand many people don't want immigrants for economical or cultural reasons. That's okay. Killing everybody inside a mosque is not okay.

Okay, that's cool, but iOS is not a monopoly, and in fact in certain places of Europe it's very far from being one, so I don't see how Apple are monopolists.

You could consider that not allowing people to install apps from outside the App Store is "taking advantage of a position of monopoly", which is illegal depending on the circumstances, but iOS does not have a monopoly.

Lidl also decides what goes inside their stores. Does that mean Lidl is a monopoly?

iOS itself is not a monopoly.

I've read many people for too long opposing censorship, because it was always used by those in power for many things, from oppressing the political will of people to protecting copyright. Think of China, Russia on one side and the West on the other.

But now that some political power that we don't like is emerging, well, a lil censorship never hurt anyone huh?

Thanks to this particular incident I've clearly seen the hypocrisy of many people regarding these matters.
