Alternatively;

"Will Google and Apple be gagged by sin and Satan?"

What is not of faith is sin.
Sin has dominion over the reprobate.
People in their natural estate are blinded by Satan.

Poor Google and Apple.

Both Apple and Google are monetarily proactive with the pro-homosexual agenda.

The revenge of the nerds?
Seriously tho I switched to Linux and Mozilla or Opera and DuckDuckGo for a search engine. Dunno if it is going to really make a difference. Even Chick.com uses Google tracking but I haven't seen any on SA (Thanks SA!!)

I'm not overly excited about what the NRB has to say, Division and Diversion, who's to decide what "Christian" content is? Them? I can't afford Apple products, so that doesn't worry me, and there are other search engines out there. I would also point out with Android there are independent sources, and the SA android app (very, very good by the way) can be found at several sites, none of them connected to either Google --or even Amazon.

It should be noted, China Blesses "Googarola" and Open Source, Too.
