How can they let me, a simple-minded iPhone user use the web browser without checking every website so that the sites don&amp;#x27;t violate Apple&amp;#x27;s policies. How do they allow 3rd party web browsers. They display loads of questionable content, too.&lt;p&gt;And actually, I don&amp;#x27;t think that&amp;#x27;d be too far off. Like what Google has their Safe Browsing list containing links to malware sites, Apple could create their own Apple Internet List, and demand through App Store policies that all browsers implement it or else.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>nostromo</author><text>How does YouTube and Netflix get approved since Apple can’t verify every video on their platform, including videos that have yet to be published?&lt;p&gt;This reasoning is beyond absurd.</text></comment>

They&amp;#x27;re identifying ways in which people are making money off of the platform and demanding a cut.  This is what companies do unless there is competition and&amp;#x2F;or regulation.</text></comment>
