Apple Executive Phil Schiller Deactivates Twitter Account

He won't be missed. It's extraordinary how triggered liberals are at the prospect that Twitter is going to once again be an unbiased public square.

I'd probably have all that if I had the advantages he had growing up rich. But that's fate for you.

Another defamatory lie

Being against racism and hate on twitter is biased?

Oy vey. Put a little effort into it.

Another defamatory lie

What's the lie? That I could have all that or that he was rich growing up and had many more advantages than most?

Unbiased? How was it biased before? No one was banned for their views, they were banned for breaking the terms of service.

Apple knows better than anyone else that a million Soviet bots don't buy Apple products. Their boiler rooms are all stocked with PC's and that's what they have at home too.

That’s actually not true. The White House was never fact checked before Musk purchased it. Since then they have been and have actually had to pull a tweet because it was so misleading. Both sides give half truths and both should be fact checked.

The new fact-checking service responsible for that started up before Musk purchased Twitter. What exactly do you think he did?

 

[Herrpod]

Where’s your electric car company, rocket company? Where’s your billions of dollars of net work because you were the brains behind products millions of people and governments value? Pray tell.

Bahahahaha. Oh you’re serious! Holy crap.

I disagree with parties and don’t lean on sides but having censorship is more important to me personally and rather be able to speak anything I desire freely. I believe this is a first little step into the new censorship era. Whether it’s good or bad, that is your opinion just like I have mine.

If the left isnt killing their children, their exploiting them.

 

[burgman]

so.. ya got nothing eh?

Not my job isnt the same as having nothing, nice try…

Right?! The Elon Stans are the worst. Like Elon is playing 3-D chess while we are all playing checkers... The Idea is laughable. Sure Elon and his Aspergers has a lot of knowledge in some areas, but is completely blind to other areas. He's no genius, just lucky he grew up rich.

This comment is drenched in jealousy. Whats most amazing is that this guy probably REALLY thinks he's smarter than Elon Musk.

Ya, I'm loving every second of it.

I actually have a question regarding Musk and why people are so upset. How can people complain that he purchased it and is doing what he wants with it when its twitter themselves who forced him to buy it? He asled to walk away from it and twitter sued him and essentially forced the purchase. Now people are mad that he purchased it? What am I missing here?

And I don’t want to really hear “Well they are mad not because he purchased it, but because of what he’s doing with it.” People have been upset with this since day 1 when he bought it so my question is why when he was forced to buy it? I don’t use twitter so I could not care less but am curious over the outrage.

nobody forced him to buy it, he forced himself by signing an iron clad contract. He could have fought it in court, his choice. Kind of the opposite of the brilliant businessman the cult keeps pushing.

Is this like when some musicians left Spotify because Joe Rogans free speech? A few months later they crawled back.

This is exactly like that.

And in the last 10 years we’ve had 6 of those years with a Democrat in the White House. The problem lies in corporatization of Washington DC, and there are absolutely those who detest the US, it’s history, and current position and would love to change it into something with a large intrusive governing body who gets to legislate fairness, equity, wealth distribution, while the same said leaders live in gated communities, and are above the law. I am truly horrified by the direction the country has gone in recent years. We are at an impasse politically. And the sad thing is, I have friends who are very left leaning, and very right leaning, we are able to put political differences aside and be friends and focus on things we share interests in. But judging by this forum and social media, we deserve to be Molotov cocktailed for political differences because opposing beliefs are now considered harmful, hateful, and violence is now justified. In a bit of irony, the absolute intolerance of the left who so loves to toss the word ‘fascist’ out are themselves embodying fascist like a Nazi. My question, you and I don’t agree on politics. So what. Are there no other areas of interest shared or things to learn from one another. Civility is truly lacking and media outlets are doing their best to convince us why we should hate each other. Maybe having an open forum where anyone can say anything is needed now more than ever. Echo chambers breed hatred.

Except differences in politics aren’t about whether the tax rate should be X or Y. They're about whether people should be allowed to get married, whether a disease is a hoax to pad doctors’ pockets, if votes from specific counties should be counted, whether scientists are lying about basic climate data. Pretending politics is just a fun hobby for discussion is incredibly out of touch.

 

[zephonic]

it’s astonishing how many seemingly educated folks are politically stuck in the 20th century

Musk might be smarter than you think. I bet Twitter can be run with just a couple of hundred software engineers plus some IT people to keep the serves running. It might be smart not to pay 7,000 "extras" salary. If he can pull this off then Twitters costs only 10% of what it did to operate, so what if revenue is cut in half. He might be right thinking he can fire 3/4 of the staff and still get enough work done.

 

[Queen6]

Good he should just retire, enjoy his wealth and shut up as he's been talking out his ass for years. Too busy making excuses and saying why Apple can't when it clearly could and proved wrong...

It’s funny to see people wasting their time so invested in political nonsense. They eat the “news” 24/7. Their life revolves around following idiots like trump or Biden. And they blame their poor choices on them. You just laugh at these people and how easy it is to pull their strings and move on as intended.
