What happened to the days where everyone controlled their own domains/IP addresses/servers?

Why would anyone want to risk being deplatformed? I trust ICANN more than I trust Apple and ${CLOUD_PROVIDER}

You mean what happended to the days of getjar.com where you can develop and upload whatever J2ME smartphone app without an overlord dictating the rules and enforcing a large cut of your revenues? I miss those days.

Unfortunately, Apple is going to continue this nonsense unless people stop buying into their reality distortion spells.
