Elon Musk Claims Apple Has 'Mostly Stopped' Offering Ads on Twitter and Is Making Moderation Demands

[AltecX]

The people lost their s*** over that one and he hasn't even used the account. Hilarious.

Everyone I saw only cared because Musk lied about how he said he was going to handle re-adding people back. I didn't see 1 person actually give a damn that Trump back.

Also Trump has a contract with Truth to always post stuff there first, but a few hours I think. So he kinda screwed into still trying to promote it, so saying "well im not gonna use Twitter" is literally him trying to get people to stay on Truth to listen to him instead of leaving to go back to twitter.

Apple cares to enforce that rule when it comes to conservative voices otherwise Apple would have banned Twitter from the App store for the Taliban and many others who are on the site. Perhaps that's yet another reason to remove the Berlin wall Apple has errected around the app store.

What are you talking about? Truth Social is on the App Store. Musk Twitter isn't banned. Again, what's changed?

He isn't going to make a phone, he was trolling people like you who would fall for that.

And yes, he is a genius clearly since he is a self made billionaire.

There's that misinformation. I knew you had it in you.

 

[Haust]

Used to be the biggest EM and Tesla fan. Bought two of their cars. Moved to London and never looked back. Dude has gone far right.

Maybe it‘s the result of Twitter going so far left. Those people abused their power and moderated the app based on their political ideology. All Elon did was level the playing field. Think about what you are really complaining about.

He won't be a billionaire for long after he craters two of his three companies that made most of their money from liberals and those who advertise to them.

Being smart/lucky with investments does not make you a genius. Hes also not very "self-made" his family had money and he used a LOT of US tax dollars to line his pockets.

Apple should support free speech and not to remove Twitter from their App Store. If it is removed, Tim Cook should face resignation.

Can you describe what "left" is exactly? And how the playing field has been leveled? I am genuinely curious.

I love when people say I'm wrong and then prove my point seconds later.

Especially in an email. Even better with an attachment

 

[supremedesigner]

Apple does a lot of business with China. It’s no surprise they don’t like free speech.

Musk is showing us just how much corporations control our thoughts. He’s risking his wealth and status to do so. I didnt have strong opinions about him before he bought Twitter. But he is really impressing me with his dedication to free speech.

100% agree with you.

 

[SDJim]

Twitter stops its biased censoring practices and Apple isn't pleased. Seems consistent with their constant support of suppressive behaviors in the PRC.

 

[Gudi]

I'm going to get banned for making political statements - again! But it's good that Apple demands hate speech to be moderated by Twitter and threatens to ban the Twitter app from the AppStore otherwise. It's even better when they see through with their threat and take a stance against nazi sympathizers, even when half of America voted one into office. It's only a shame that a private company is needed to do the job of law enforcement. The Justice Department should ban Twitter when they refuse to moderate speech which is suitable to the Incitement to Imminent Lawless Action.

I'd be interested in how you learned what Apple knew and did about this? Is this hearsay or is information that has been confirmed?

High end fashion house Balenciaga is scrambling to deal with the fallout from their controversial ad campaign that featured children holding teddy bear bags that featured the stuffed animals clad in bondage attire.

After the scandal, Balenciaga has wiped their social media accounts of all images except for an apology in their Instagram Story. The photos were part of the company's Spring 2023 line and was titled Balenciaga Objects.

Kim Kardashian even had to speak out against the disgusting content they published on Twitter. They deleted their Twitter account out of shame but you're going to tell me Apple didn't know about this.

 

[supremedesigner]

Why would Apple do this? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-hobbled-crucial-tool-dissent-185100767.html

Good find! If Tim Cook approves this method, he should face resignation. This is insane.

 

[cocky jeremy]

Only if you say racist or homophobic things.

lol. Hardly.

 

[Captain Trips]

And yes, he is a genius clearly since he is a self made billionaire.

Question: How do you make a billion dollars in business?
Answer: Start with five billion dollars.

 

[mrat93]

If only the leftist celebs and their rabid fanbase were as mad about the recent Balenciaga controversy as they are at Elon for doing nothing wrong thus far. That'd sure be nice. Use your energy towards a person/company actually doing something wrong like Balenciaga did.

Pay no mind to the world’s richest man buying Twitter and turning it into a rightwing hellscape, but focus more on a company which has already been eviscerated for an awful marketing move, to say the least.

Sure- when CNN lied about trump dumping fish food into Pond. Calling him insensitive

Trump feeds fish, winds up pouring entire box

President Donald Trump took a moment out of his whirlwind Japanese trip to connect with nature and feed some fish, but after a few delicate scoops, he resorted to a grand gesture met with some laughter.

amp.cnn.com

Btw- Abe actually dumped food first- Trump actually followed.

CNN only modified story after unedited video showed Abe did first

Amen

Mother of god… This disgusting hit piece must have been why Trump lost. The libs have lost their minds with this censorship. Why was Twitter’s fact checking team not all over this? I swear we’re all living in 1940s Germany right now.

They don't ever answer. They will just either stomp off or repeat themselves. It causes a malfunction and error code.

Exactly they're just parrots. I'm sure their logic is that since you disagreed and they are some minority, you are attacking them. Some are probably the same ones who do attack the person instead of the opinion they disagree with

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Good find! If Tim Cook approves this method, he should face resignation. This is insane.

There will be no uproar or outrage about this. But Elon Musk posting his nightstand is a dog whistle and he must be removed from the App Store at once!

 

[cocky jeremy]

Anything you say that they disagree with, you're automatically a socialist and they want to fist fight you.

See that works for the Right too.

I never mentioned them. I hate both sides. As a matter of fact, I don't even think the federal government should exist.

 

[Krispykrme]

If this is the best example... ok.

I would agree they made a mistake. CNN modified the story, which is good.

What would you like to happen?

It’s not a mistake they made- it was deliberate.

It’s not the best example- just find it amusing that even small story like this gets left attention to smear.

I like you, you get it.

 

[mactactic]

Go on then, Microsoft and Amazon failed, and Facebook never even tried to bring one to market, despite it being the obvious move.

You’ve clearly got the business acumen* so let’s see how much of your dad’s emerald mine money you can evaporate on a phone.

Oh and, in case anyone is daft enough to think it wasn’t, not spending on advertising with a platform is absolutely a choice a company is free to make.

*of a bowl of clam chowder.

Just how much $$$$ does the US government pay SpaceX again?
Money will never be a problem for Mr Musk.

Apple has never claimed to be a free speech zone.

Way to miss the entire point of that discussion and bring up some random conclusion. You don't even get the bronze in this round of mental gymnastics, you're disqualified.
