    Both Apple and Google terms of service require apps to have a blocking feature built in. Elmo been spouting off again without actually knowing anything. As of this evening he’s figured out that’s not something he can actually do and deleted his tweet.

      On the one hand, lol, on the other, we shouldn’t need permission from either of those companies to do a goddamn thing.

        You don’t. The only thing you need their permission for is to work with them (by putting something in their stores). I feel it’s reasonable to give them that power.

        He doesn’t need their permission. He could just publish an APK for Android and provide side-loading instructions for iOS, but the majority of app users are never going to do that, so they’d just never see another app update ever again.
