The platform that software is delivered through is independent of whether it works offline.




You mean the ISPs, whose permits are controlled by goverment authorities?

Easier to threaten one Store rather than 10,000 ISP's.

Also easier to install a VPN than to replace your phone with one that isn't controlled by Apple or Google.

As long as it isn't a criminal offence to do so.

Probably still still easier even if it was.

I am sure there is enough law enforcement units to take care of it.

Might be trouble for the ones outside your jurisdiction.

> 10,000 ISP's.

Lol, you must be from the 90s. There's like 10 now.


Just because the US has consolidated many ISP's doesn't mean the rest of the world has. Also, even in the US, that figure is just under 2k. Globally, it is >16k.
