> This one, I think, is worth picking. This is a moment when the App Store and Play Store can stand firmly on the side of longstanding and correct societal norms.

Counteroffer: the App Store and the Play Store will be used for the precise reason they were built, enforcing top-down social control.

Gruber, you've been far enough down this road to understand that you don't get a choice. Apple and Google can say "fuck you" all year, and you cannot "make" them do jack shit. You are either with them, or you leave for greener pastures. App distribution monopolies cannot be used for good, it's what people have said for fucking decades at this point.

This really isn’t the time to bootstrap an “App Stores are inherently bad” argument to complicate the matter. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
