I'm happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it's a lot at stake.

Google basically says "Trust us". What a joke.

"All Google associated platforms hereby block all ios devices."

I am not a fan of apple. But this would piss a lot of people off but is well within their ability and rights to do. And unfortunately they have enough of a monopoly with the internet (Google, youtube, and all the other sites served through their dns) that they can essentially break the internet for people they block. They would get 90% of those ios users to switch to Android.

The flow of information through the internet is one of the greatest advancements of man kind and we have to trust a massive cooperation not to destroy it.

    You underestimate the willingness of iOS users to tolerate a sub-par experience in exchange for their fancy walled garden ecosystem.

    Just the os alone is restrictive as hell, and they don’t care.

    Could they do it? Maybe. But it would be profoundly stupid of them to try.

    I think you underestimate how much of the internet depends on Google to operate.

    Apple already has attestation in safari, so why would any major companies exclude them when they offer it also?

    Google would be really stupid to try to exclude apple os, because apple has safari. They would lose their iOS users, iOS users wouldn’t become android users.

    That's a goddamn lie. They absolutely DO NOT have the "right" to engage in behavior that blatantly anti-competitive!
