Samsung Forces iFixit to Remove Galaxy Fold Teardown (arstechnica.com) 38 points by hprotagonist 7y ago ↗ HN
[–] bdibs 7y ago ↗ The title is very clickbait-y, iFixit themselves said they only took it down out of respect for their partner that let them use the review phone.Samsung had no right (legal or otherwise) to ask to remove the post. [–] nuklearwanze 7y ago ↗ Well... Samsung probably put a lot of pressure on the supplier of the phone. That supplier then (probably) begged ifixit to take down the article.Both the supplier and ifixit acted against their own original intentions only because Samsung told them to. I'd say that qualifies as "forced". [–] nuklearwanze 7y ago ↗ To clarify: Samsung didn't directly force ifixit to take the article down. It was apparently a case of "do as I say or I'll shoot the bunny!" (the bunny being the supplier).Still "forced".
