Regardless of whether Apple bows down to pressure on this, it shows you how they think. It’s their phone, not yours. Tim Apple is your daddy and as long as you live under his roof, you live under his rules. And he’s just made it clear he can enter your room whenever he likes and search your drawers. Might be time to think about moving out.

Problem is, where do you go? Do you move in with creepy uncle Google next door? No, he’s even worse.

And your banking app only works on iOS and Android…

To answer parents that want to prevent abuse of their children: don't give them a phone until you have fully educated them about the horrors of the modern internet and how to mitigate them. Otherwise as soon as they log onto zuckbook, Google.., the abuse begins.
