Apple CEO Tim Cook on Hate Speech: 'You Have No Place on Our Platform'
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Tim Cook's Democrats are the hate speech. Apple is a products company. Not a platform like FB, YouTube, Etc... People buy the products and do whatever it is they want with them. Including ISIS filming executions with an iPhone using Slow motion.
How the hell did you get MS-13 equals Jews from my post? Try reading it again. In my analogy, Latin American migrants = Jews. MS-13 = anti-Jewish propaganda. You failed to figure out the analogy because you don't understand that MS-13 are basically propaganda. They were created in America. They are a tiny, tiny group. They have little or nothing to do with Latin American migrants. They are the equivalent of the bogeymen Nazis used to vilify Jews. Do they exist? Sure. Did corrupt Jewish bankers exist? Sure. Did either of those propaganda bogeymen have anything to do with 99.99% of Jews and 99.9% of Latin American migrants? Nope.
Do you know what ADL is?

Over 80 people liked this post. That is scary.
Women killing children in their wombs is not women making decisions about their bodies. It is women killing children in their wombs.
A decision about their bodies should be made BEFORE children develop inside their wombs.

Latino migrants do not equal Jewish refugees. Jews were not fleeing from other Jews. They were fleeing from being exterminated by non-Jews. Latino migrants are fleeing from other Latinos. They are not being exterminated for being Latino. They are fleeing their own dysfunctional societies and if allowed in, they will bring that dysfunction with them.
It is akin Israelis fleeing Israel for America not being the same as Jews fleeing Europe. Those Israelis who want to live in America are not refugees and are pure migrants or immigrants. They may not like living in Israel because of constant terror threat, lower wages, higher cost of living, etc., but they are not refugees.

So Snoop Dogg talking about killing the sitting POTUS is . Will he just stop virtue signaling and be a CEO?
Also, I suppose the conspiracies become theoretical when you have products to sell.

WAY to quote half of my post and turn it into racism. Jews are not a race, by the way. It’s a religion.
Tim Cook made Dre into a billionaire, a misogynistic woman-beater. I had every intention of quoting some of his lyrics here to make my point, but wow, I'd have my account banned in a heartbeat. It is surreal that the liar Tim Cook has the balls to say he's against hate speech while giving a huge voice to this sub-human piece of trash. Tim Cook = Hate Speech. This is someone Tim Cook gave over $1 Billion to.
Tim Cook was even working on a documentary series glorifying Dre, but was forced to drop it because despite Tim's best efforts to clean it up and show Dre in a positive light it was just too full of violence, sexual abuse, and hatred to ever see the light of day. This evil, destructive monster is now a billionaire thanks to Tim Cook. Tim Cook loves his message of hate.
But Dre is just the most egregious example. The Apple Music store is filled hate speech. Calling out for violence and atrocities against every group you can imagine. All for the profit of Apple. I find it hard to believe that there is any place on the internet that spreads these hateful messages farther and wider than Apple.
And that's fine if Apple wants to make a profit off hate speech. But how dare Tim Cook then turn around and pretend he's against hate speech. How dare he claim hate speech has no place on his platform when his platform is likely the largest source of hate speech in the world. Hate Speech is his life.

99% of these tech people have zero background in the humanities, history, philosophy, and the arts.
They also know nothing about logic, reason, ethics,
They especially know less than nothing about the history of governance and political philosophy and
how they apply to America and its Constitution.
They might be bright people, but they are, outside of their field of expertise absolute know-nothings.
They are precisely the kind of people who fall for the politically correct worldview,
and they are the last buggers I want making any decisions for me, my country,
or about what news and opinions the people in this country gets to see.
If they all keeled over right now the country and the world would be much better off.
As far as the ADL, they became an outdated, irrelevant operation by keeping that tiresome
uninformed ancient relic, Abe Foxman, on for 15 years past when he ought to have retired.

Why is my computer or phone "a platform" and not a dumb device that does what I say?
Is my refrigerator also a platform? Should Whirlpool prevent me from putting certain foods in my fridge?
We need a new word for a new kind of bs...

They are a public company, and in theory have to answer to the shareholders.

You know, that’s a good point. Refrigerators are getting more and more smart.
What if someone feels foie gras is wrong. They then petition the maker to shut off the refrigeration mechanic if the camera in the fridge identifies foie gras inside the fridge.

You realize that call him a Trump supporter and belittling him for being one is kinda name calling as well
Hate speech...
Conservatives will cautiously define it their way
Progressives will actively push it their way
Religious people will divine it their way
Postmodernists will narrate it their way
Communists will state it their their way
Fascists will dictate it their their way
Libertarians will say it does not exist

That I clicked on this article and found this to be the most liked comment is a very sad statement. Gotta love silly words like “always” and “everyone” and “demonstrably.” It’s cute. Divorced from reality, but cute.
Great quote!!! Many would say it a bit different today though: “I do not agree with some of the things you said so you are obviously a hater and I must shut you down by any mean.” Sad world we’re living in!
This post is comedy gold. Let’s review. You...
— begin with a made up statistic
— then proceed to talk about “logic” and “reason” (oh the irony...)
— assume that they don’t use those things (factually wrong for many; in fact most top tier MBA programs incorporate classwork teaching formal logic)
— make tons of assumptions many of which don’t pass even cursory tests for truthfulness
— then accuse people of “falling for” something (that irony is getting thicker!)
— then wish death upon the people powering the global economy, which uhh, if you’d ever paid any attention in any economics class, you’d know that would be a very very bad thing.
You’re special.
Uh oh. The slippery slope. The answer to hate speech is more speech. Reasoned, conscientious speech. The problem with censoring hate speech is, who decides what is hate speech? Progressives have demonstrated time and time again that they consider hate speech to be any speech that does not conform to their world view. It’s mob rule, where only the most pure of virtue signallers are immune to a Twitter ban, a Facebook suspension, or a Google blacklisting. So schizophrenic and capricious are the rules that even the most ardent progressives are sometimes hoist with their own petard.
The value of truly free speech was once taught in schools, but has now been replaced with a new orthodoxy based upon every individual's right to never have their ideas challenged, to never feel the sting of any offense. Objective truth has fallen by the wayside; hyperbole is the new truth. Anyone who disagrees is a sexist, a racist, a bigot, a homophobe, and must be silenced, driven from the public forum, from their jobs, from their homes.
Apple once, under the leadership of Steve Jobs, avoided overtly political involvement. Everyone knew Jobs was a liberal, and that Apple was a liberal company, but as a corporate entity, Apple was happy to serve all ideologies without applying its own provincial leftist ideology. But Steve Jobs is gone now, and Tim Cook has demonstrated since day one that his intention was to take Apple down the same ideologically puritanical path as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and the rest. How very sad for free, independent thought.

...a quote which doesn’t apply in this case in any way whatsoever.

That’s a lot of typing. Let me simplify it for you.
Don’t be a callous ass and you won’t run into problems. “The Golden Rule” works.
An organization that everyone under 23 knows is a joke. Maybe it was something good before.

You own your refrigerator. You don't own Apple's online services that they run with their own funds. The only bs I'm seeing is that the majority of pro-hate speech conservatives here apparently can't be bothered to open a book before commenting.

This is a strawman constantly pushed by regressives and the radical right. Hate speech is very plainly defined as "speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity." and has nothing to do with politics.
The only reason conservatives squeel so loudly whenever Tim takes a moral stance against hate speech, is that conservatives and the kind of people who use hate speech tend to overlap quite closely more often than not.

I am lived in different countries around the world America is only country that calls hate speech free speech. In Canada a teacher went to jail for teaching to his high school students that the Holocaust was a hoax. In Germany WWII German symbols and even the 4 letter N**I word will get you in trouble. In Spain a Muslim cleric was tossedin jail for making a phone call on Sept 10, 2001 giving a phone message "The birds are in the air" to someone in the UK.

Bingo. ADL says a cartoon frog is hate speech. ADL and Southern Poverty Law Center are Leftist, perpetually-offended lunacy.
