Apple Pressed by India to Pre-Install Government Apps on iPhones (www.macrumors.com)

The push comes as India seeks greater regulatory control over global tech companies. The initiative would require manufacturers to include the government's GOV.in app store and related apps like BHIM, DigiLocker, VoterID on smartphones sold from India.

Beyond pre-installation, they also requested that their apps be available for download outside the company's app stores from third-party sources without triggering "untrusted source" warnings.

Saying someone is lying and telling someone to "fuck off" are not the same, one breaks rule 3 and the other does not.

You're a liar.

Sorry you feel that way!

Would you then please explain how calling someone a liar is "Be[ing] excellent to each another!" ?

You say it's different to telling someone who called you a liar to "fuck off", under rule 3 but in either case it's not being very excellent to "each another" now, is it.

Also I'd like to note that "rule 3" is misquoted.

They are very different. One is hostile (not excellent), the other is an opinion.

Thanks for pointing out the typo.
