Exactly, find another bakery lol. Thanks for proving that exact point.
Don't like Apple's policies?
The solution is so simple. Stand up and be brave mustering up some courage and support and purchase products from companies who are more aligned with your views.
Easy.

Lucky, there are other major tech companies that *support* that vie... oh wait.. No there aren't.
Whatever happened to diverse thinking or “think different”. Suppressing and controlling speech and thoughts are not proper solutions.
A truly unified society will never happen because we are all individuals. Apparently disagreements are no longer part of human interaction. Any type of disagreement can now be termed “Hate speech” in today’s world.

It's not that they (collectively) oppose my views, it's really only TC and perhaps some of the other execs. Anyways, they don't oppose my views, they irrationally and illogically hold views that are politically biased. The way he sees the world is not the reality. Such as women in tech, TC said "they really missed the mark" referring to the Tech industry regarding gender balances. That's a naive stance to take and makes him look clueless on biology as well.
Hundreds of thousands of employees make the creation and distribution of Apple products possible. I know for a fact that they do not all hold the same beliefs as TC and to be honest I don't really care for individual people's views. I will respectfully disagree and still buy their products. The only reason I'm having a go at TC is because his speeches are full of ideological drivel which is incredibly biased and doesn't correspond with the actual reality.
It’s quite simple, millions do it everyday for generations. So much typical drama in this thread.
What reality are you referring to? The reality that Apple and it's CEO has the freedom to oppose hate speech? Is that too far from reality for you?
Yeah... my jaw is dropping reading some of these comments.
That is what worries me. Seems like Apple, Twitter, Facebook want to arbiters of what is hate speech and they are hardly unbiased.
Oh yeah. I like Trump so I am a Nazi. Right.
I’m Jewish, so I guess I’m huge Trump supporting Nazi. You really hit the nail on the head!
That’s exactly what is going on... they want to shape perception by censoring things th4y don’t agree with.
Mainstream media does it daily, fb and twitter do too... why wouldn’t Apple?
Do you work for Apple? Do you decide what they can and can't support? Didn't think so. It's almost as if the republicans in this thread want the government to step in and prevent Apple and other companies from making their own choices on what they choose to support and oppose on the platforms they created. It's a weird day when republicans come off as wanting the big bad government to control our capitalistic society. SMH.
Hypocrites.
Tim Cook is taking Apple down the tried and failed path of "Get Woke, Go Broke".
It will take Apple a while given the great position Tim Cook inherited, but I am confident that Tim will get there.

No, it’s that the left lost their minds over a baker and a wedding cake, but they have no problem censoring and suppressing the masses ...
Thank you. Every time this argument comes up everyone shouts about 1st amendment. Private businesses and individuals are not the government. You have the right to speak, but I or a private business can tell you to ****.
Who in the hell says that? Seriously, who says that?
Ya I feel so oppressed by Apple now that I can no longer view child porn on the Tumblr app. Too bad I can longer make an app on their platform that promotes white supremacy. Clearly the majority of their consumers support it.
