Keep

1. There's a lot of woo and shit surrounding Apple, and Apple itself is a notoriously exploitative corporation. It's missional. — Oxyaena ^Harass 23:07, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
2. Topic seems perfectly missional to me. We should actually have more corporation articles rather than less. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 23:28, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
3. We would do well to focus on these sorts of people more, especially now that "woke branding" is a thing and they are trying to make themselves look better.-Flandres (talk) 23:49, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
4. Apple would in my eyes go under "Explorations of authoritarianism". A large number of their factories are located in China (which is rather authoritarian) and they are notoriously walled garden with iOS (and increasingly so with OS X as time goes by). That walled garden has caused them to stick up for the Chinese government's authoritarianism by forbidding VPN applications (which could be used to get past the Great Firewall) from being allowed in the Chinese App Store. That alone makes them missional. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 09:16, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Merge/redirect

1. If it reads more like a fun page, why not make it a fun page, instead? Thunderclapper (talk) 21:54, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

  I'd like to hear how this is on-mission-Hastur! (talk) 02:33, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

  Forbidding VPN applications in the Chinese App Store because they could break China's Great Firewall is a pretty good argument? Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 09:17, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

  How is that bad?--Delibirda (talk) 00:19, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

• Not fussed either way, but it's been 4-2 in favour of keep for over a week now. Time to close as keep, I think. Avida Dollars^{her again} 07:26, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
