Comment on Some Beeper users say Apple banned their Macs from iMessage

I saw this coming from a mile away.
If you use your iMessage account for illicit activity, by which I mean “using Apple products in a way that causes no harm but offends them personally,” they probably reserve every right under the sun to make your life miserable.

Yep
This also extends to other products. Don’t use your personal Gmail to do ‘TOS violating’ things.
Better yet, separate it as much a possible with different devices, VPNs, etc.
Losing your primary email will SUCK
(Also make backups)

I don’t think it’s fair to lay blame on the consumers here, this is big tech acting as monopolies and should be prosecuted as such.

I don’t think anyone here is blaming the users, the comments are saying they shouldn’t be surprised.
Users blatantly violate TOS > company bans account > shocked Pikachu face
I agree with the above commenter that they should have expected this. I remember watching SnazzyLabs video about Beeper when it was about to come out, and the video essentially said ‘people have been doing this for awhile, I don’t think Apple will care about Beeper’ and I thought oh yes they will.
Do I think Apple is in the right here? No. Am I surprised they’re taking this action? Also no.
