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 LifeSites channel didn't comply with our Apple News guidelines. Specifically, they stated that LifeSites [c]hannel content shows intolerance towards a specific group.
Apples e-mail provided no details about which content they deemed offensive, or which specific group LifeSites 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 worlds information.

And it only took three posts for one to show up on this thread.
Apple News intolerant of small children,
Youre an idiot.
That he is.
Have lived my entire life without Apple News. Life has existed thousands of years without Apple News.
Who cares about this radical, anti-God app? As Jesus said, Shake off the dust of your feet!
Actually, I speak of what I know. I’ve conversed with the LifeSite folks on twitter. They are fully supportive of the GOP show votes on defunding PP. It’s a fact that the GOP Congress has fully funded PP for decades. LifeSite are as GOPe as National Review, unfortunately. Rather than pressure the GOP to give us substantive results when the controlled the GOP controlled the House they simply played the beltway kabuki blame the Democrats dance like any other GOPe interest group.
Hi, see post 27. I’ve had personal interactions with their social media person on twitter. They do good work but have no interest in holding the GOP to account for their support of PP.
why would anyone get their news from apple news? They are apple- they are intolerant!
Republicans' and conservatives' challenge is to instill that belief.
So you’d rather toss out the babies than give a thumbs up to a group that welcomes all the help they can get, even if from “GOPestablishment” and even (gasp!) pro-life Democrats.
Sounds like they’re not far enough to the fringe right for you on other issues.
Hard for me to feel any sympathy for that.
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 cant completely avoid all shops and stores and businesses that are left.
I dont.
But ones that show DELIBERATE HOSTILITY towards us..come on guys...it aint worth it.

BUMP!
LifeSiteNews carries water for the GOPe and their beltway kabuki votes. Hard to feel much sympathy given that.

Can you be more specific on this? I was/am unaware. If someone votes pro-life, why wouldn’t they support them? A GOPe pro-life vote is better than a dem pro-death vote don’t you think?
I’ve used Apple computers since 1985. Too old to switch.
In looking at their site, I would not be surprised if this wasn’t the offending incident...

You get to do what you want old timer :)
You’ve earned it.
So, Tim Cook says point blank: if you don’t support our politics, then don’t buy our stocks or our products.
Well, that’s easy.
To the contrary. I’m results oriented. It’s the GOP always fully funding PP and other Dem pet projects like NPR. Why does the GOP never fight as hard for the babies as the Dems do to kill them?
I’m not interested in beltway failure theater from the GOP. Soviet style show votes from the GOP when they know the bill won’t pass. I want PP defunded and the babies saved. That is all. Thank you.
