Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?
I witnessed a “consewrvative” female Fox Business channel reporting questioning full and open “free speech” on Twitter, suggesting (I’ll paraphrase her words) “wasn’t that how the Nazis got power, that they were allowed to spew their antisemtism”. No one among her panel was able to challenge her assumtpion. If the Nazi’s were able to spew their antisemtism and get popular support for it, it was not due to government controlled speech that prevented it but due to mere lack of sufficient authentic opposition to it and then to government controlled speech under the Nazis that silenced that opposition. Setting up any form of speech as vorbten only sets up the idea that no, free speech itself cannot be allowed. Agreeing that “rules”, not free speech is O.K. condems all free speech to its death.
go woke go broke
LOL - they won’t need to advertise. They won’t have any phones to sell
Saw elsewhere that due to Covid lockdowns and riots at partner factories, shipments will drop by 6 million units from China this quarter.
If figure is correct, that is about 12% of total sales volume.
FOX is news is like being forced to eat half a shyte sandwich. Its better than MSNBC or CNN, who want to give you a full, 5 course meal - but its still a shyte sandwich
A phone able to use Starlink would send shudders down the spines of totalitarians everywhere.
People being able to download and upload information, with the local government unable to censor or monitor?
I have a reference sheet with 20 links to source data....only 2 of those links work today.
Starlink V2 satellites will be able to connect to phones
OMG, wouldn’t that be WONDERFUL????
I suppose that’s too much of ask.

Apple should publish all censorship actions it has taken that affect its customers

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease!
The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim.
It's pronounced "Gonna re-elect 'em", and is capable of crippling our current population.
The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum.
Many victims contracted it in 2020 when they elected Joe Biden and Liberal Progressives into power and are now starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.
It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout.
It's pronounced "Vote-em-out." It can be picked up at your local pharmacy without a Doctor's prescription.
You take the first dose now. The second dose should be taken just before the 2022 elections, otherwise, it could eventually wipe out all life as we presently know it in the USA.
Please pass this important message on to all those bright folks who truly care about America and to the many misguided fools who think socialism is the answer to all their personal failings.
I think Elon should make his own brand of smartphone. Who knows, it could be a very smart move on his part.
Google's ability to "boost" hits in exchange for payment or push down content to censor a particular view (or filter it out completely) makes it a tool of limited value. My son figured out the SEO algorithm to boost his real estate listings. That improved his income during a time when the market was hot. Increasing interest rates, rising inventory and a falling number of buyers requires a change in strategy.
you’re close, They hate America

JUST IN - Apple is threatening Twitter’s presence in the App Store, Elon Musk confirms.
apple can keep sending ads to me, and I’ll keep ignoring them.

Must be you - I have had no apple ads ever (over 30 years) - other than the info I signed up to receive via email.
Hi.
Of course Apple doesn’t have to advertise on Twitter, but colluding with other companies to harm twitter is called restraint of trade and is a felony.
Even across platforms and products if it can be documented and proven.
Oh wait, Biden administration, nevermind.

Protests have erupted across China in recent weeks against the country's zero-COVID policy, but citizens will no longer be able to take full advantage of their iPhones' AirDrop file sharing feature, which has frequently been used to bypass censorship and spread information about demonstrations.
Under the latest software update, iOS 16.1.1, iPhone owners in China can only use AirDrop to receive files, images, and videos from other non-contacts for 10 minutes, according to 9to5Mac. Once that 10-minute window lapses, AirDrop shifts back to contacts only automatically.

Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why
He must mean future ad buys... I have several Apple ads on Twitter showing as I type this... The big issue is if they withhold the Twitter app from their app store... they have threatened to do that....
