How about not having different app stores for every region?

How is that supposed to help? Should apple remove these Apps globally then? Not that governments would stop pressuring to censor.

The real answer is to let people load apps from outside of the App Store.

If you’re going to run an AppStore, you’re going to be subject to the laws of every country, and you’ll have to segment it by region.

Yeah!!! Hold everyone accountable to everyone’s rules! You can only get it if literally nobody has a problem with it.

Yeah that sounds great, you’re a real genius

I see from your post history, it’s full of great comments. Not sure why your reaction here was so harsh. I hope your day is going okay.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. I meant have one app store and ignore those governments who want to ban apps.

Also, being able to directly load apps on your devices is way better anyway.
