So what you're saying is the people at Apple have no freedom of speech, only rapists like Tate?

That's what you're saying, not me. Re-read my words, and if you actually want to have a civil and respectful conversation, I'll be here, but don't put words in my mouth

You are the one saying Apple shouldn't be allowed to use their "freedom of speech" to promote the things they want to promote.

Not exactly, they shouldn't be allowed to monopolize the market with unfair practices, should be required to allow app sideloading and/or 3rd party app stores and/or jailbreak without hacking (all things already true for Android btw). But until they do, then yes, their freedom should not be used to curtail other people's own freedom ("my freedom ends where yours begins" principle).
