That doesn't even work. I've been banned from subs for literally posting information directly from CDC or WHO that was against the popular narrative. Just a week or two ago I pointed out on
And I was banned for spreading falsehoods about vaccines...
Well, we've got a president who apparently doesn't know the difference between Taliban, al Qaeda and ISIS or the difference between an ally and an adversary who is commander-in-chief and making foreign policy, so...

Sure, Apple says they will deny "requests" from governments to expand this to include other images (Winnie the Pooh?).

It's a pickup truck. Toss a generator in the pickup bed and keep on truckin'.
This is EXACTLY why I don't buy digital-only things. I want the PHYSICAL item. I don't want to be stuck relying on someone else's "good graces" to provide continuous access to something I purchased and own.
I can watch a physical movie whenever I want, wherever I want. No need for internet. Same thing with books. I can grab a book from my shelf and read it. No electricity or internet required. No batteries to worry about. It's a freaking book.
It's a freaking pair of SHOES, dumbasses!
Sheesh.
Seriously! SHOES!
