@monkbent I never said Apple should prohibit it, I’m saying it’s unbecoming of Apple to run a shitty bar full of drunks and cheap whiskey. -
@drbarnard but the only people who care are you and I. Is that worth giving up the $10b talking point? -
@monkbent As you and I have both blogged about, the implications for what developers build on iOS is far-reaching, but also delayed.

@monkbent@drbarnard@gruber@drance@justin Alcoholism or nicotine addiction doesn’t imply prohibition is right. But restrict advertising -
@afwaller@drbarnard@gruber@drance@justin alcoholism and smoking have externalities society bears, giving govt an interest in regulating -
@monkbent@drbarnard@gruber@drance@justin video game addiction also has negative externalities see also gambling addiction -
@afwaller@drbarnard@gruber@drance@justin not societal wide one (ie increased health care costs, dangerous roadways, etc) -
@monkbent@drbarnard@gruber@drance@justin increased underemployment & mental healthcare for ppl who spend all day & money playing games

@monkbent@drbarnard@gruber@drance@justin Coercive games seem a lot like cartoon cigarette mascots and should be outright banned. -
@stgwi@drbarnard@gruber@drance@justin paternalism at its worst. Again, no societal cost a la smoking -
@monkbent@drbarnard@gruber@drance@justin That we know of. It took 30+ years to prove that with tobacco.

@monkbent@drbarnard@gruber@drance@justin The more apt comparison seems to be tobacco. Stigma and heavy regulation seems appropriate.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
