    Your phrasing is a little off but I hear your frustration and sympathize with you. App Store creators say what cannot be installed, when it comes to third party apps. They generally don’t auto install things unless they make them OS components. Your phone’s network provider is the one loading apps you can’t uninstall, generally.

    While I agree they shouldn't be there... This is exactly why we shouldn't have centralized control.

    Because yesterday it was the anti ICE apps. Today it's these. Tomorrow it can and be anything.

    Living through this has taught me that while I was a strong federalist to try and guarantee rights and build out what I think will help society, it only takes one rogue faction to turn it all against you.

    I remember when Apple was outright against anything sex related, even tame things.

    Is there a pornhub app? I don't think so.

    Apple is fighting pornographic material reaching iPhones via downloads from the newly mandated competitors to Apple’s App Store. [source]

    Also, they claim that these are "nudify" apps, but they are just faceswap tools?
