And then what happens when CloudFare de platforms you? It doesn’t take much to DDOS most websites that aren’t protected by something like CloudFare.

So now you just have to get deplatformed by Cloudflare, AWS, Fastly, Azure, Radware, Google, Akamai, F5, Imperva and every other DDoS protection company in the world all at the same time while simultaneously suffering from a DDoS attack that never lets up or your site immediately comes back.

Meanwhile a DDoS attack is a crime, so Apple doing something with the equivalent effect is now something you're equating with the commission of a crime.

No the Supreme Court said a long time ago that a company has “no duty to deal”. Meaning it doesn’t have to do business with anyone it doesn’t want to.

But you don't want to do business with Apple, you only want to do business with your own customers who have iPhones.
