Apple Comes Under Media Fire in China
Apple Inc. has come under fire by Chinese state media, which claims the U.S. technology giant isn't doing enough to block texts and images trafficking in prohibited content including pornography, gambling and counterfeit goods.
In a barrage that began last week, China's state-controlled news agency Xinhua and at least four state-supported media outlets have published criticism of Apple for not doing enough to filter banned content on its iMessage service.
State broadcaster CCTV joined in Tuesday on another front, saying Apple's app store allowed illegal gambling apps disguised as official lottery apps.
[...] On Monday, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other top government agencies said they would impose new requirements requiring mobile-phone makers to include spam-filtering features.

Put another way: You're saying "Fuck multi-generation projects"; people should have to build everything up from scratch just to prove they're worthy of the hair on their chests, amirite?
A descendant shares DNA, cultural values, training, experiences, networking, etc. Why would you just throw that out as though it means nothing?
If your philosophical position leads you to conclude that it's better to dissipate wealth (including pedigree) rather than build atop it, then you should really re-consider your philosophy. This need to reconsider is doubly true when the means by which to dissipate that wealth is at the point of a gun, against people's will. You're not on the right side of this.
