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.

Indeed. The Supreme Court recently ruled that a business in one state must police consumers' payments of sales tax in another state, otherwise the business will be in trouble for not enforcing some other state's laws.
Wasn't the American Revolution triggered by taxation without representation?

As was the Civil War triggered by the Supreme Court requiring free states to return fugitive slaves. Hey, turns out it was about States’ rights after all!
