What authoritarian government was Sweeney referring to, that was going to force Apple to kick Fortnite off the app store? "Later this week, we'll be escalating a conversation with Apple in which an authoritarian government(not China) is demanding that either Epic alter Fortnite on iOS or Apple block it, and we'll be responding with a memo on the human rights principles that would be violated by either action."

Like, the public argument was that Fortnite violated the App Store TOS with an update. It being political and Apple kowtowing is an entirely different kettle of fish.
