Companies are doing their best to not reward people who diligently inform them about vulnerabilities.
Showing an openness to discussion would have been so much better for his case.
Europe's sentiment is they want more security and are happy to give away their freedoms without a thought. Then you realise how important your freedom was to you when it's gone.
Section 230 is an internet legislation that gives social media companies a pass on their users actions. E.g. if CNN/Fox/BBC publishes something fake on their website, as a publisher they will be legally liable to what they publish. If a user on facebook posts something similar then facebook wont get in trouble because they are not regarded as the publishers. It was created to help boost social media site momentum during the Obama administration.
Now recently since facebook/twitter have been moving into becoming the arbiters of what is true and not which makes them publishers.
From a fairness point of view, why should these social media sites benefit from section 230 while traditional media doesn't?
EDIT: Added legality
I really hope you will go public about this experience and share it, Apple aren’t the “virtuous” company as they pretend to be.
