Summary: A major brick-and-mortar store sold an Apple Gift Card that Apple seemingly took offence to, and locked out my entire Apple ID, effectively bricking my devices and my iCloud Account, Apple Developer ID, and everything associated with it, and I have no recourse. Can you help? Email paris AT paris.id.au (and read on for the details). ❤️
Here’s how Apple “Permanently” locked my Apple ID.
I am writing this as a desperate measure.
There truly is no such thing as safety when it comes to corpofascism. If the party decides to unperson you, you are no longer a person and therefore no longer entitled to being treated like a person.
Crazy as it sounds, this is why I for one would have preferred there to be some sort of legal or government body (as in, hand of the population exerting its sovereign monopoly on violence) whose job it is to punish corporations when they hurt people. But that’s never going to be allowed to happen. Hell, if it did, if a NATION STATE declared actual war on a corporation, what would that even look like. Would they shell corporate administrative buildings with artillery and attempt to capture/detain corporate assets and personnel?
Shit is already way off the deep end.
Wish there were an actual legally applicable digital user bill of rights or something, but as far as i know any such concept isn’t worth the paper it’d be printed on.
