This is what irks me about the “well they agreed to Apple’s TOS so they knew the risks” argument we’ve been seeing regarding their legal dispute with Epic.
TOS are written in a way to give their authors the maximum amount of power and leverage over the person or entity they’re working with, regardless of whether or not the terms exceed the spirit of general defensive legal strategy.
This guy lost a job because helped someone with some basic computer work, something many of us do with our relatives because they see us as “magicians” or whatever and we enjoy tinkering.
It’s hard to imagine what additional context needs to be present in order for Apple to be justified in doing this.
Just curious: does Apple maintain the right to disable my account if I talk bad about them online? It wouldn’t surprise me, but I guess I should read the TOS.
