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.

Your high-horse opinion of Apple users aside, you are right that OP is greatly overestimating people’s commitment to google’s services over their iPhones.

I am an apple user, but I was on android up until last year. It’s more an observation based on conversations I’ve had before and after switching than anything.
