      Corrupt:

      https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/03/google-and-epic-look-to-bury-the-hatchet-with-new-app-store-settlement/

      That’s just the annoying American style of corruption (I say this as someone who is not American but who has lived in North America for ~10 years).

      Dishonest:

      Specifically:

      This is a vile lie by PC Gamer. I criticized a government official for pressuring Apple and Google to block a speech app owned by their political opponent, deplatforming 500,000,000 users on the pretense of stopping a small number of users from distributing disgusting content.

      This is clear bullshit aimed at local (i.e. American) degenerates.

      When Elon Musk went on a crusade against texty (a tiny Ukrainian new source), did genuine free speech believer Tim Sweeney care? Of course not, because American polemics about alleged beliefs in “free speech” are lies.
