Not sure what you're saying, but you have heard of Jan 6, 2021? That was an attempt to overturn the vote, a coup, and make Trump a dictator.
Got a tip for us?

I think there are bigger problems with a lot of people here but for the love of God I can't work out how so many people can be brainwashed, reprogrammed and cite conspiracies and false information. Really surprised at the persona's shown here that I would not have imagined would have fit what I thought the persona of a typical Apple enthusiast would be.
You mean I caint look at nekkid laddies on my fone? What is this? This is SENSORSHIPP. I have Rites!!! I have a connstitootional rihgt to look at all the nekkid laddiees I like.
It's truue. I just went to nekkidladdiees.com and it said "We can’t connect to the server at nekkidladdiees.com." This is CENSORSHIPPE. I want my rites bak.
Answer. You go to any of hundreds of other bakers who would gladly, capably bake you a cake.
That’s not tough, at all.
Instead the “private companies can do what they want” crowd, who get the most grotesque totalitarian jollies from shuttering every avenue of free speech, one by one through collusion of a few oligarchical entities, in this case decide that a baker, an artist, must be forced to create a work of art with his own hands that celebrates what he believes is a lie. Or else he and his small family business will be fined into bankruptcy.
Thank you for reminding of these very recent, grotesque examples; you people don’t believe in the rights of private companies to do what they want. You believe in the suppression of inconvenient truths at all costs, no matter how many times and how badly you need to torture your justifications.
So AWS can deny service based on political leaning of the client? Interesting precedent.
Maybe you can buy that domain name and start your own porn site that focuses on the fetish of women that can’t spell. 😀
Any private company can choose to provide you a service or not for any reason.
Not as of Monday.
You know how leftist suppression works, don’t you?
It’s designed to be total.
I hope my government see this. It's a good precedent so that way they can request Apple and Google to ban Facebook and Twitter the next time we have riots here.
Unrelated, because in this case they’re denying service because the client allows their platform to be used for planning illegal acts of violence.
I can’t tell you how to interpret what he said. I’m sure we will disagree. But I’m pretty sure you had no problem during this last year with all of the democratic politicians soliciting the ongoing riots, takeover of parts of cities, ransacking of police precincts, etc. even Vice President elect Kamala Harris encouraged those acts. People died. You ok with that? You consistent?
Edit: to those of disliking this comment or hating it, please have the courage to say why. What did I say that was wrong? Please link to one of your past comments where you condemned those past riots. People DID die in them. Democrats DID encourage them. Hypocrisy in action.

Yes they can actually. Especially if that political leaning promotes violence and racism.
Where's your proof? Don't tell me it's Fox News or Breibart or QAnon. Conspiracy theories don't count.
A lot of people are upset, and feel fraud occurred. Whether or not that is true, people should be allowed to (peacefully) express their displeasure. We just spent the last year watching countless violent protests and takeovers of cities. I live in Seattle, where part of the city was occupied for a long time. People died. And yet neither you nor any democrat voiced any condemnation of those protests right?
The actions at the Capital were wrong and further violence needs to be stopped. I have no problem with Apple pulling the app. Let’s all remember it’s symbolic since Safari is still there.
But - let’s not pretend this isn’t going on everywhere. I live in Minneapolis where we lost a police precinct and miles of businesses where burned. How did we monitor what was going on? Twitter. Threats and trouble everywhere and easy to find.
Social media has creatEd problems that are nearly impossible to solve. Social media is designed for rubberneckers, Karen’s, and odd ducks. Everyone has the same megaphone. Look how well that worked out.

What do you think now> Trump supporters are cop killers too. https://trib.al/T6jwLUp
Go check out Parler and thedonald.win if you want to see for yourself how some of his nutjob followers interpret what he says. It’s no secret that a portion of his followers want to start a civil war. If you need more evidence after Wednesday, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Hmmm... Food for thought.
Totally apropos of nothing, except fetishes. I used to work (in an Apple Reseller, no less) with a young lass who grew up a good, conservative Catholic, going to a good, conservative Catholic school, with a very limited exposure to the real world. She had a customer who became quite "attached" to her. Until the time he said he wanted to suck her toes. Our manager had a quiet word with him and we never saw him again.
He never expressed interest in my toes. Probably due to the chronic, incurable, tropical fungal infection in my toenails. 🤮 🤮 🤮
They "felt" fraud occurred...they were lied to or were in denial.
Peaceful protest is a Constitutionally protected right. Violence and property destruction are crimes. There were thousands arrested over the summer. The killers (some of them right wing gun nuts) were charged with murders.
Jan 6, 2021 was a violent attempt incited by Trump to take over Congress. 5 people died. The seditious criminals and killers will be brought to justice. Unfortunately, Trump will likely escape justice. For now.
What you said were words. None of them are facts because none of them are backed up by evidence.
