Let me put it this way, superapps rely on harvesting and exploiting massive amounts of user data for profit, which is much worse than anything that Apple does. That aspect should be banned.
The quality of the service or content they provide is not my preference, but that's not what I was referring to as hot garbage in this case.
So ban harvesting and exploiting. Don’t ban superapps.
By your logic we should ban kitchen knives because they can be used to murder someone.
“What about!…” this adds nothing to discussions.
What are you talking about? They very clearly presented a concrete solution of banning problematic behaviour rather than arbitrary categories of applications.
That wasn't what-aboutism, I was just using an analogy to make a point.
Super apps aren’t designed for the people. They are for control. They could be beautiful for the people, but that’s an utopian dream.
👌👍
Room temperature IQ, got it.
