    I want to thank you dear poster and author, I feel genuinely refreshed reading a short interesting post sans status quo topic.

    Waiting for the next part!

    Ironic the Apple App store allows a "phone antivirus" to exist.

      Funnily enough that's given as an example of a prohibited type of app in their review guidelines.

        Walled Garden is the most marketing speak for Walled Prison.

        I would be amazed to see the phrase coming from non-astroturfed accounts, but... You know the kind of people that buy Apple products. Its a status thing.

    I thought this was going to be about how links have become harder and harder to follow on Insta. The login walls got progressively stronger (it feels like) and now it's just hard blocked

    Sorry, Zuck. Not signing up for Insta, though you probably made a shadow profile of me

    lol "your iphone is severely damaged by viruses"

    Facebook was known to aggressively filter URLs too if posted too often.
