Catholic and Enjoying It!
So the Apple Corp, bowing to pressure from the Usual Suspects, abruptly discontinued a harmless little app for the Manhattan Declaration, because it offends lefty pieties. Since then, there has been a petition to restore it from irritated people who enjoy free speech. If you like free speech and dislike corporate cowardice, go sign it.
It makes me think of something a reader observed the other day: namely, that technology is now able to put pressure on nation-states to which corporations are not as vulnerable. An Assange can use technology to humiliate a nation state. But the corporation that owns the technology can ignore you and even make it impossible for you to protest. It will be interesting to see how that goes.
