    When Apple says, "You can't install a third party app store on your phone," what they means is, "it's *illegal* to install that third party app store." It's not a *technical* countermeasure that stands between you and #TechnologicalSelfDetermination, it's a legal doctrine we can call "#FelonyContemptOfBusinessModel":

    But the mighty US government will not step in to protect a company's business model unless it at least *gestures* towards the technical.

    The #RightOfExit and the #FreedomOfReach (the principle that anyone can talk to anyone who wants to talk to them) are both key to #TechnologicalSelfDetermination. They are both imperfect and incomplete, but together, they are stronger, and form a powerful check on both greed and cruelty-based predation:
