I think this law is the wrong way about doing what they're trying to do, but I also don't want US corps deciding what is and isn't permissible in our country.

Apple might be the wrong company for you then. They're all about corporate control and deciding what is and isn't permissible on their devices. The first time you want to install an app that isn't approved in their app store, this becomes quite apparent.


They can do whatever they want on their devices that is permissible in whatever jurisdiction they're selling into, but they don't get to choose to follow our laws. If we want those changed we'll do it at the ballot box.


Since there is no law requiring what they are doing, what now?


I feel like comprehension is lacking here.

1. The original comment was about Apple using their power to influence UK law.

2. That is bad, don't do that Apple.

3. If they want to do other things not legislated against they are free to do so.
