Yup, reports are that in one quarter Apple alone was 4% of Twitter’s ad revenue. Many others have left as well.
I do love when people outside of the United States beg for attention by saying the US doesn't matter as much as we know it does. You pay more attention to what is happening in the US than in your own country, like most of the world.
And despite both companies in question doing business globally, they are both (shockingly!) American companies.
They might be, but they should be removed and now in his quest for ultimate free speech (as long as you don't disparage him...*and that 1st amendment only applies to US government no private sector) he is bring back all of the circus animals......step right up guarantied to be a show
Wrong. https://amp.theguardian.com/technol...hm-for-rightwing-politicians-and-news-outletsStop believing everything CNN, MSNBC, WaPo etc. tell you. Twitter openly banned and censored conservatives for years in order to shape elections. They literally had #StayWoke t-shirts in the office. They openly censored the Hunter Biden laptop story to help Biden win. If you can't see that - you're blind. Fortunately all of the censors have been fired and the wrongfully banned conservatives are being let on.
If you don't like it - make your own Twitter
Yes, Apple and most corporations choose to side with the side of the political spectrum that preaches tolerance the loudest, and it's based in leftist ideology.
But for good reasons as a society that tolerates violence and lets intolerance flourish will ultimately succumb to intolerance and persecution:
How will a business see the biggest possible profits if all the people are fighting and persecuting each other and preaching intolerance? That would be nothing but chaos, suffering, and wars.
Businesses want diverse and tolerant societies, it's what's most profitable.
And a part of keeping societies peaceful is some level of censorship. Without it, all the small minds will eventually conspire and set fire to everything.
Long live censorship!
Dream on baby...
I think it's hilarious that you have chosen to mention something, trying and offend me, yet you ignore the principle of your comment where Free Speech is the bedrock on which 'Merica was founded. 😂
People don't die on the streets like they do in 'Merica where I come from. The right to bear arms doesn't mean the right to kill, in the exact same way as the Right to Free Speech does not mean the right to say anything you want without consequences.
But I get that people live in their own version of reality... Keep your head down and enjoy.
I'm not aware of any ill will from Tim Cook toward Elon Musk. I am aware that Elon will try anything to be in the news to manipulate his wants, and that's pretty much the extent of it.
We agree on some things and we disagree on others. On this statement above, I agree with you 100%. Russia allegedly became a democracy and Putin was elected during that time. It is now an Autocracy as Putin has effectively managed to become a permanent installment. A similar thing occurred with Xi Jinping with China claiming to be a democracy. Trump even tried to go down the line of being installed permanently. The reality is the US is not even a democracy at all. It is a Constitutional Federal Republic and always has been by virtue of its constitution.
Our political systems and are countries are always balancing on a knife edge.
It is interesting researching this (keyboard warrior-like). In Australia, we are considered 95% free. The U.S.A. is considered 87% free. Interestingly, the US had a downgrade of a score in the past year in the area entitled "Is their academic freedom and is the educational system free from extensive political indoctrination?" due to a reduction of free speech in academia. So much for the Constitution and free speech.
He is saying that Musk said that the money is of no importance to him, yet he charges more and is complaining that money is not coming in as much.
I think paying $44 billion for a company that probably wasn't worth even a quarter of that probably does indicate money is not your driving concern. But it is a driving concern for keeping a business running.
It's interesting. I don't think Australia would be as free as it is without the influence of the freedom of the US.
It will also be interesting to see what happens to academia as a result of this. I get the feeling that academia as a whole is flying a bit too close to the sun and forgetting the fundamentals that allowed it to grow this large and be sustained for this long. Sure, academia can do what it's doing, but how long can it maintain it before people just lose interest and stop caring about it and paying for it?
I don't know. But I a) live in Australia and b) work in academia so I felt I may as well throw my opinion out there.
Maybe the social media environment is more favorable now for a new platform that’s better than the options available now. Dorsey seems to think so with BlueSky.
Dunno just taking a wild stab in the dark here, but this might be a reason advertisers are leaving? Not sure though. /s

Elon Musk Is Turning Twitter Into a Haven for Nazis
Musk has welcomed neo-Nazis back onto the platform, engaged with them on his timeline, and posted multiple tweets that appeal directly to them.

Because of satirical headlines by well known left wing online-only publisher?Dunno just taking a wild stab in the dark here, but this might be a reason advertisers are leaving? Not sure though. /s

Lmao. Why read this, just got on twitter to read what he's saying
Such TRUTH!
We must practice tolerance, kindness, and understanding.
First, As democrats, we should start with Tolerance by banning all viewpoints.
Second, we practice kindness by calling them Facists, other names, and practice unhealthy hateful attitudes.
Last, we practice understanding by comparing those we disagree with to Nazi's (who genocided millions of people)

Maybe it's Vice that sucks though?
Can we all play along? I mean:
- As Republicans, we should start with Tolerance by banning all viewpoints.
- We practice kindness by calling them Far left Radicals, other names, and practice unhealthy hateful attitudes. Case in point: Charlottesville.
- We practice understanding by comparing those with disagree with Facists, Communists, and try to align them with the KKK.
BL.
Republicans aren’t advertising to be the party of tolerance, kindness, and understanding.
You kinda missed point of the game. What they advertise isn’t what they sell
Let's be real. Right-wingers use the term "the left" in a way that reveals they don't know what it means.
To be fair. Most people don’t know what left v right actually means and liberal v conservative. To know what it means, you need to know the history of it.
Sounds lien you know very little about American politics. I hate the Democrats, but they exist as a false opposition party, they serve their big donors only, in other parts of the world they call that an oligarchy. But one thing they aren’t is Nazi’s, enablers yes, because their refusal to mount serious opposition to fascists only enables them. They fight harder against progressives than they do fascist republicans.
The Republicans have gone off the deep end, instead of being just the pro-rich, pro-business, pro-war party, they’ve descended into the bat sheet crazy conspiracy party, and are emulating the Nazi’s.
The Republicans have a Nazi infestation
As the Republican Party gives off an increasingly strong stench of fascism — with the antisemitic, racist and xenophobic attitudes inherent in that ideology — the party establishment looks more and more like the “Junker” conservatives of Germany in the 1930s. While those monarchists and...
