Apple temporarily removed former President Donald Trump’s debut single, “Justice For All,” from iTunes on Thursday after the hit single spent one week at number one on the iTunes chart, Kash Patel told Breitbart News.
Trump released “Justice For All,” less than two weeks ago. The song features the “J6 Prison Choir,” an ensemble of January 6 prisoners who can be heard singing the national anthem while Trump recites the Pledge of Allegiance.
Notably, the song topped the iTunes chart, staying at the number-one spot for seven consecutive days. The song beat out Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers,” Tim McGraw’s “Standing Room Only,” and Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” for the top spot on the iTunes chart.
The song was sold for $1.29, with all net proceeds going to “certain J6 families in need.” The song sold over 22,000 digital downloads from its release on March 3 through Monday, March 13.
However, the song was temporarily removed from iTunes for a period of hours on Thursday, consequently removing the song from its number one position on the charts, Patel told Breitbart News.
Patel, who served as a national security official during the Trump administration, played an integral role in producing “Justice For All.”
A senior Apple Music representative told Patel the song’s removal was due to a “miscommunication.”
“Seems to have been miscommunication between our communications department and our music operations team,” the Apple Music representative told Patel. “The issue has been escalated and should be back up on our platform soon.”
Apple did not respond to Breitbart News’s request for comment.
Patel noted the song’s charitable aspect and told Breitbart News that “If we were raising money for Ukraine,” the song would not have been removed.

“F Apple. All my pads and punters are Android.”
You can’t honestly believe that Google is a better corporation to do business with.
Android IS Google.
F Apple. All my pads and punters are Android.

Google loves you and your data.
This.
Is the problem.
It's a remarkable difference between the conservative mindset and the progressive mindset. Of the five or ten available options, if none of them suit the progressives' ideological needs? They'll go build number eleven.
Nothing about your comment indicates a willingness to get outside the market and disrupt it. But your comment is actually two sided, because if any conservative did think they could try to be a disruptor there's nobody standing around them willing to help them build it. You want Rome but Rome wasn't built in a day.
Let's say Salvavida did create his own conservative alternative "cTunes", just to be cute with Apple's product name. You wouldn't buy it. You would refuse to participate. So why would he bother?
We're willingly stuck with our own chainsaws to our own kneecaps.
Salvavida: "There is YUGE market for a conservative to bust down the doors and come up with a similar but better platform. But nothing."
Honestly, no, I really don't think there is. I offer the above comment as proof. You've got no buyers and no users, that's why there's no products. Nobody wants product number eleven. They'll just pick one from the five or ten available, and then complain about the wokeness. That is, after all, the reality that we have seen. It is because it is.
Rock/Pop, whatever kind of music has reached the point where there is literally nothing new under the sun and people will just listen to the classics.
Do people care about new symphonies? No, they stick to Beethoven, Bach, etc.
That’s where we are now with music in general. It’s all been done.
The best you could do, ...
Here's what I do. I use a phone that I'm forced to use only for business purposes. I basically have it "sandboxed" to use a phrase, if something isn't business related, I refuse to touch that phone. I've found that all of the business apps work just fine on Wifi, so I don't have to pay for a monthly line for it.
My daily driver is a linux phone, for everything I do. F big tech, I'm not using their garbage. But that's because I have a disruptor mentality. (see my above post for a better explanation) I will not use any of the available options as they are hurtful to me. The market is simply insufficient.
Benjamin Franklin said "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately", I am more than happy to hang alone. And I can attest, it's REALLY lonely. Oh well. They are not getting my money.
Unless you're a conservative.

I differ to some degree with you. If a conservative would build even an equal mouse trap, if not better, people would gravitate to it. iTunes is hard to compete with, as was Twitter, Facebook, Starbucks, Amazon, etc. They’re good mouse traps. Rumble doesn’t have the library YouTube does, and Duck Duck Go doesn’t have the reach that Google has.
No, I wouldn’t refuse to participate, but it would be hard to gravitate to an inferior product.
"If a conservative would build even an equal mouse trap, if not better, people would gravitate to it."
And
"No, I wouldn’t refuse to participate, but it would be hard to gravitate to an inferior product."
You're specifically saying you'll refuse to participate in the building. That's the important part. Salvavida's got no chance. No users, no money. Out of business in 6 months or less.
