Joshua Aaron, Iceblock app creator, is right in his determination to fight back. He’s doing the right thing. Apple caved and removed the Iceblock app after Pam Bondi threatened Apple and Joshua. Google caved over an app or two BEFORE any threat. Caving to an authoritarian regime is pathetic. #Trump
