approval of corporate action without knowing that legal justification is why I asked. Btw, what if the TOS said clearly that none of the supermarket chains would sell to cats or allow them to enter the premises for any reason? Of course our laws don't allow that behavior against people.

It's all just a thought--that maybe we shouldn't leap to approve actions against someone just because we don't like him. Especially when the actions are those of an extremely powerful corporation selling its products in over 100 nations like Apple.
