Now the next step with tech needs to be where government takes fulll
control of Apple And Google app stores and forces them to open
themselves like they did with the World Wide Web. Hoping new FCC
chairman fucks up both companies on this ground.

A quick solution is to listen to #RMS and stop using that crap.

Some of the Alt-Right thinkers, which I already disavowed because of
some of their other dumb ideas and instigations, are trying to push an
idea called "Content Neutrality" which is a government program to force
their software into companies' app stores even if those companies don't
want it there.
I told them that they already lost and that they need to either abandon
the platform (recommended ) or side load all of their software. The
ironic thing about Micochip's statement is that the World Wide Web just
got closed with the new Digital Restrictions Management standard.
First of all, it encouraging users to stick to the app store is bad for
preserving the rights of the user. https://www.fsf.org/news/2010-05-app
-store-compliance Even if Apple and Google act like they comply, what
would prevent them for making the software from serving their own
interests still?
Second of all, forcing companies to host applications, violates their
property rights. These companies need to have some responsibility, but
because these companies have the big money, they can take the precedent
and turn it on its head to their advantage.
Last of all the so called Alt-Right aren't content neutral about their
forums. If you ask the wrong questions, they will ban you from their
forums.
I urge you to not support Content Neutrality.
