Apple’s CEO Tim Cook took his mask all the way off this weekend when he was talking about removing Parler from the app store from existence through a coordinated monopolistic collusion with other tech giants over supposed incitement concerns. He also gave away the overall game.
He said they don’t “consider” the parts of Parler they don’t like to be “free speech.” And then, without realizing it, revealed the reason for, and method of, collusion between the tech giants.
It was the “incitement” talk that foreshadowed Cook’s Sunday commentary. See, as we’ve been saying in our ongoing tracking of the Big Tech Purge, “incitement” is a fluid term that they can apply to anything. All they have to do is tell each other and CNN that something makes Trump supporters or conservatives angry. That’s it. If you don’t like something, and someone talks about that thing you don’t like in a negative way, then they are inciting you.

“Free speech for ME, ... but NOT for THEE!”...........................
“Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn’t matter; only feelings matter. ”
― George Orwell, 1984
So? Like there’s any consequences to be concerned about.
You can almost hear them giggle when they say “free speech”
And this is a surprise because....?
If you want on or off the Apple/Mac/iOS Ping List, Freepmail me.
Remember the giant German industrialists who lined up with Hitler’s Fascists, not necessarily because they agreed with his platform but because they saw huge profits for themselves and their companies. Ultimately they lost everything. History, history, history.
Jobs would be rolling in his grave - while a liberal, he was not the uber leftist Cook has turned out to be.

Two can play this game........
They are lying in wait like common criminals, practiced con artists, colluding and conspiring......ready to toot the “incitement” horn.
Our response should be in no uncertain terms....”they are baiting us, laying traps, using con games, criminally stalking their enemies.”

Ah, yes. They get to decide what is free speech. But wait, they’re just a platform aren’t they?

Isn’t the act by a company to try to destroy the capacity of a competitor considered trying to create a monopoly?
A monopoly is defined by Black’s Law Dictionary as:
“A privilege or peculiar advantage vested in one or more persons or companies, consisting in the exclusive right (or power) to carry on a particular business or trade, manufacture a particular article, or control the sale of the whole supply of a particular commodity.”
What they are selling, and their sponsors pay for them, are opinions along with products. But the act of selling them acting as a wholesaler/retailer in the second party, still makes them responsible for what they are selling. And by having a price schedule for ads, they are part of the sales transaction. So trying to delete their competition, they are creating a monopoly and violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. People think the internet is freedom of the airway. It is, but the business side of the internet is not and is responsible for the laws everyone else is. Free speech and opinion has nothing to do with a business transaction.
But I’ll bet my life savings no one will try to stop them because the libs have too much invested in them and the conservatives are gutless. They wouldn’t back a sitting president who did more for the financial and protective parts of government than any in our history, allowed him to be impeached for nothing, then are allowing him to be impeached again for nothing to make sure he can’t run in 2024 to bail us out again after four years of the idiocy and lies that are coming.

Looking at the Moto line. Is it true they are partners with Lenovo? Their rep is spying for china.
