July 31, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A little over one week ago, Apple approved LifeSiteNews’ application to publish our news on their Apple News platform.
Today, without warning, Apple News abruptly reversed course, telling LifeSite that they had deleted our channel and all of our content from their platform.
Apple claimed that LifeSite’s channel “didn't comply with our Apple News guidelines.” Specifically, they stated that LifeSite’s “[c]hannel content shows intolerance towards a specific group.”
Apple’s e-mail provided no details about which content they deemed offensive, or which “specific group” LifeSite’s content allegedly showed intolerance towards.
LifeSite has reached out to Apple News for further details about their decision, which we intend to appeal.
Apple News is an app that is available on all Apple devices. It aggregates news content from thousands of publishers. Apple users can “follow” their favorite news sites and receive customized updates.
Conservatives have expressed alarm in recent years that a small number of large tech giants, often located in predominantly left-wing jurisdictions, are acting as gatekeepers to an increasing amount of the world’s information.

PING!
LifeSiteNews carries water for the GOPe and their beltway kabuki votes. Hard to feel much sympathy given that.
I have Apple computers, and Apple stock, and I’m about to get rid of both.
-being Pro-Life from conception to natural death,
-promoting traditional marriage,
-objecting to actively homosexual clergy,
etc...
It isnt possible to be “tolerant” of evil.
But then, if you want to demonize and dehumanize, I guess you have to keep your opponents at arms length and suppress them anyway you can. Bravo Apple, heir Goebbels would approve.
Planned Parenthood was caught on tape saying they would gladly accept money from a racist who wanted to target his financial support to black neighborhoods to kill more black babies.
One of the Veritas stings I think...
Homofascists hate Christians. It’s that simple. Breeders are second on their list for hate.
Hmm, isn’t banning someone or some organization in itself a rather extreme form of intolerance? A tolerant person would celebrate our diverse opinions, priorities, viewpoints, experiences... Maybe even engage with someone with differing views in order to foster understanding.

And are begging to be broken up by the justice department using anti-trust laws. Keep it up.
WHY is it taking so long for people on this board to do this!?!?!?
Because their product is good?!?!
They HATE Christians!!
I KNOW we can’t completely avoid all shops and stores and businesses that are left.
I don’t.
But ones that show DELIBERATE HOSTILITY towards us..come on guys...it ain’t worth it.
Funny, I read LifeSiteNews, and I see them as unceasingly being 1. Pro-Life (which I care about a lot) and 2. Pro-Catholic (which I don't care about).
Care to back up your accusation with some datapoints, at least?
If you want to help out, do what I do and sign those “progressive” petitions, as they come along, demanding the breakup of Gewgle, Facebooger, etc. We may not agree with those whackos on anything else, but we certainly do have common cause with them here.
Also, sign the “progressive” petitions, as each one comes across your screen, demanding the breakup of these large companies. We may not have anything else in common with these purple-haired, nose-ringed SJWs, but we have common cause on this issue.
I didn’t know they thought that way. Figured they love these companies.
How odd. They just hate corporations?
I wish I knew where to sign. I would do it now.
Talk about politics and strange bedfellows.
We better got our shots :)
How did I ever have a life without knowing what ‘Apple news’ is? I must be a monk or something.
When truth is the enemy of your political agenda, then the truth must be banned.
