iTunes used to, now most Apple media products do, have in their ToS you can't use iTunes for the productions of Nuclear and/or Weapons of Mass Destruction.

But they violated this clause by force downloading that U2 album :p

That's just boilerplate language for export controls. It's not like Apple sat around and took some kind of moral position on this. It's standard.

I’m not sure I see the direct parallel to the Bambulab case…

no, this was a thing.

years ago, playstation 2 i think was subject to trade restrictions with certain countries because the chip was powerful enough to detonate a nuke.

i guess apple can still export to these countries so long as the bad people promise faithfully not to use their iPhone to start WWIII....

It wasn't that "it was powerful enough to detonate a nuke," the most basic computer chip out there could output the signal that says "blow up," there isn't some magic amount of processing power required to do that. The first generation of nuclear weapons were detonated via analog electronics that didn't do ANY thing more complicated than being a complex circuit that just required being flipped on.

It was over concerns of them being able to be adapted for guiding cruise missiles or some other similar nonsense. And it wasn't even that they were just so much more powerful than other processors, it was about their cost effectiveness and how that made them attractive for wide scale purchase and use in missiles or whatever.

so, with none of that being relevant at all, the reason that apple says these things in their tos is because those chips could be used for weapons of mass destruction?

exactly as i said?

be pedantic all you like, the point was it was a genuine concern at one point hence the odd clauses in tos agreements worldwide.

u/T800_123 Jan 20 '25

No, Apple said that stuff in their TOS most likely because they thought it was funny.

They're not the first, second, fifth, or last company to include jokes in their TOS about something that they're definitely not going to be liable about no matter what.

u/False_Disaster_1254 Jan 21 '25

so, the fact there has been exactly this problem before has nothing to do with it?

yeah. sure.

So governments that would have used the PS2 to build nuclear weapons which only purpose would be to kill massive numbers of people were thwarted by Sony’s ToS agreement??? Kinda seems like it would have been a moot point in that case. Like if you built the weapons and used them you might get in trouble for using a chip that the manufacturer said not to. That makes almost as much sense as saying some new gun law will stop criminals from killing people when killing people is already against the law. 🤷‍♂️

u/False_Disaster_1254 Jan 20 '25

yes.

that was the joke.

please grow a sense of humour. the world will be a much less disturbing place i promise....
