Elon Musk slams Apple after company pauses Twitter advertising

[neoprema]

Death of Twitter as we know it.

So something positive then?

There is talk of apple blocking it. That's the more prevalent section , not the fact that apple cut advertising.

Yes, I get that but I highly doubt they will as it will upset many of their users.

Elon Musk slams Apple after company pauses Twitter advertising

Elon Musk’s tumultuous month atop Twitter Inc. has already included firing most of the company’s employees, tinkering with key features and restoring banned accounts.

Now he’s embarking on what could be his riskiest gambit yet: a war with Apple Inc.

Why'd you use that title and not a more important title of Apple threatening to kick the app off the store for no reason.

 

[RonSwanson]

Free speech Musk is upset that Apple has been censoring millions for years.

FTFY

 

[Kosmik]

Anyone who disagrees is the enemy of humanity and Earth.

You follow the context right? This is not in relation to the advertising cut but in the possible/prospective banning of twitter from the store. It is a problem, maybe folks have forgotten but there was a lot more freedom before with phones and apps, now days its very strictly controlled by the stores with quite a heavy hand to developers and businesses. Quite different from what android was originally too. Open platform, open hardware.

Talk being only Musk saying this? App Store guidelines are pretty clear, if they threatened to remove it from the App Store there is a 100% chance he knows why, but won't say it.

And do remember that Google removed Trump's app from the Play Store, while it was always available on the App Store.

Only for snowflakes.

Free speech Musk is upset that Apple chooses to spend its money elsewhere....

Do you ever spout anything other than deeply unwise ignorance?

One day, where ever we may be, my soul will hunt yours down to tell you: I told you so.

 

[NeonNinja]

Can you not download twitter on Apple?

You may not be able soon.

 

[Vorastra]

Not the bigger story?

Almost like the dumb title was chosen on purpose.

FTFY

Millions, really? I wasn't even aware Apple owned a social media platform, please go on...

 

[NeonNinja]

Yes, I get that but I highly doubt they will as it will upset many of their users.

No. People move on to another app that's gaining traction.

 

[BBSA]

You may not be able soon.

And upset their users, will never happen.

It is just a wet dream of yours.

Hey I enjoy Twitter stupidity, banter and fights now and then. I'll be aggrieved for 2 hours max and on with life.

Coming from you someone never actually says anything of substance at all? But sure, I'll bite, please explain what was incorrect about what I said.

One day, where ever we may be, my soul will hunt yours down to tell you: I told you so.

I think you are massively over estimating how much significance I place on our limited interactions, but hey, you do you.

 

[BBSA]

No. People move on to another app that's gaining traction.

Not that easy if you already have million of followers on twitter.

How many followers do you have?

How many followers do you have?

The Instagram algorithm has been wonky for years now for instance. People adapt, New platforms rise (Vero).

 

[RonSwanson]

Millions, really? I wasn't even aware Apple owned a social media platform, please go on...

They even do one better: they own the hardware platform, OS, appstore and ecosystem that such apps depend on.

 

[Vorastra]

You're so witty and funny. Ha ha.
So anyways.

Apple enforces their censorship by putting their thumb on developers through the App Store.

This is how Apple censors.
