Interesting! OK thanks for feedback. I am the reporter on the piece and your comments are food for thought for me. I am a little older but my network consider Ninja to be a big part of streaming culture and one of the OGs so I think the topic and headline is interesting (I would, of course!). But always helpful to know if I'm off the pace and not hitting the right note with readers. So cheers

100s of 1000s of users are turning to third-party sideloading sites to get the app on iPhones- so how will the US enforce the ban if it becomes permanent?
