Comment In what sense can't Apple do anything? (Score 1) 140

I find it hard to believe that Apple is technically unable to fix this. Presumably there is a data structure that contains the information about who is in charge of the account and they can edit it. If so, is the problem that they are afraid the ex-husband will sue them for breach of contract? I would think that the custody order would provide a good defense. What exactly is Apple's reason for saying they can't fix this?

Yup. Some others companies fought were ingredients lists ("We'll lose our secret recipes!"), nutrition information and calories ("people can work it out from the ingredients!"), financial disclosures ("Competitors can take advantage"), standardized rates of interest rate comparables ("customers can do the math!").

Anything that exposes the truth, risks, or potential liability or unwanted data gets fought as an existential threat.
