like I said, they can choose to not sell a product. - Reagen Jun 19, 09:48 2
- Don't you think the comic creators prefer the option to sell their product? I guarantee they do. -- nm - TFox Jun 19, 09:51 1
  - ultimately they would prefer to sell it as is in the same market. - Reagen Jun 19, 09:56
No, you make it so adults can buy adult products and children can not. - Krusty Jun 19, 09:43 12
- They are a private company. What obligation do they have to provide a service they don't want to provide? - NWBR on iPhone Jun 19, 09:48 5
  - They don't have any obligation. I was just trying to say that they can sell things uncensored to adults if they wished since - Krusty Jun 19, 09:51
  - I'm not in favour of requiring them to do so. I'm not even in favour of sanctioning them. I am in favour, though, of calling them out on this. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 09:50 3
    - yes...mark it in your personal "firms i wanna buy products from" book -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:51 2
      - I'm already pretty anti-Apple. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 10:00 1
        
        me too -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 10:03
- but Apple has the right to decide if they want to do that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:47 5
  - I know but that was my solution to TFox's post about control. -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 09:48
  - yes but it still censorship - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:48 3
    - then all retailers are censors. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:52 2
      - no in non publishing it's "Quality control" but it is the same mechanisem - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 10:01
      - Porn shops too? - Krusty Jun 19, 09:53
censorship is not nessesarily bad but it is censorship -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:42
