My son owns a Macbook and we all have iPods. I was currently evaluating an iPad to purchase in the next month, but just heard the news that you dropped the Wikileaks app from your store.
Since you obviously have no notion about free speech, I will not be buying an iPad. I will not be getting a Macbook to replace this laptop when it dies in the next year. When I upgrade to a smartphone one of your competitor's will get my business.
I do not support companies that think it's their responsibility to censor things that are simply not dangerous to begin with.
With companies like you, who cares about net neutrality or the gov't restricting our rights? You've already done more than they could hope to, caving like this.
Please find some balls.
A (former) dissatisfied customer of 25 years.

WikiLeaks is "fencing" stolen goods, goods it KNOWS are stolen. They
are criminals. Apple does not support criminal activity. Good for
them!
What if they obtained very private videos of you from your secured
home and posted them to everybody in the world, including your mother?
Would you be patting them on the back and touting "Free Speech, good
job!"

The constitution is not enforced by businesses, but the government.
Uncle Sam is NOT pressuring Apple to censor wikileaks, it is apples
business descision to do so. Just as you are free NOT to do business
with someone, apple is free NOT to do business with wikileaks/J.
Assange.
If you feel this strongly about it, keep your word and boycott apple
products.
Just as people have the right to speak, they also have he right to
keep quiet, apple is choosing NOT to excercise its free speech, which
is perfectly acceptable.
As much as i believe Julian Assange is an enemy of America, he is not
a citizen, nor has he set foot on american soil, therefore, we really
cant do anything about it.
