Apart from all the other points made here, I always wonder why uniforms have to look like there has been no development in clothing/fashion for the last 100+ years? Why do they have to look like they are extras on a Harry Potter filmset?
It is not the most elegant of sources, but it gives some explanation and cases. It also looks like it mostly effects second-home owners and tourists who have overstayed the 90-day period. In general, if applied for a residency, and lived in the EU for a while there is a small chance of being kicked out. Local conditions may apply, like a certain income in Spain.
People are stating as if it is the same issue, while I made a point in everything past the first sentence why it might not be a valid comparison. Also, people are not making comparisons, they just drop words along the lines of "x company also does that".
Ps. I don't hate Apple (I have been using their stuff most of my digital life), I just don't cult around a behemoth of a company pretending they have my best interests.
Whataboutism doesn't justify anything. There are quite a few nuances. For example that Android and iOS have way higher adoption numbers than game consoles, and that these OSes play a crucial role in people's everyday lives. In addition, do these platforms have a duopoly, so perfect competition doesn't exist on that level, and like elboomy states, does Apple have a monopoly on its own platform. Apple forcing a piece of the cake is thus merely a power play which is enabled by the imperfect market of smartphone OSes and their app stores.
An al-amira or shayla doesn't cover the face either. I think it is fair to prohibit things that cover the majority of the face, like a burqa or a niqab as it would make it very difficult to recognise the person, but I don't really see how people, other than the wearer, are affected by the two I mentioned first.
Although I agree sentimentally, I would believe that if they leave there is an even smaller chance for them to dig themselves out of this semi-dictatorship.
