An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.

sure, there’s reason to be cynical, but i don’t think handing society to fascists out of bleak pessimism is the way i want to live my life.

    Of course not, but being a pragmatic can help. If people with money can sustain a legal battle against Apple, all power to them. For the rest of us, it is achievable to distribute the eggs in several baskets, or even keep the eggs at home (selfhost).
