Telegram says when Apple recently ordered it to delete specific posts, Apple demanded it not leave a notice explaining why, because such info was “irrelevant”
“Telegram replaced those posts with a notice that cited the exact rule limiting such content for iOS users. However, Apple reached out to us a while ago and said our app is not allowed to show users such notices because they were “irrelevant”.” https://daringfireball.net/...
Apple policies aren't just censoring developers and users, they're censoring discussion of Apple's censorship. It's not a slippery slope, it's an avalanche in progress. And it won't end until the store and payment monopoly are brought down. https://daringfireball.net/...
I knew this latest use of “irrelevant” rung a bell, and Gruber cites just the incident I was trying to recall. I'm not sure “convenience” is the correct alternative descriptor I'd reach for, but there seems no question “irrelevant” is the wrong one. https://twitter.com/...
