Elon Musk slams Apple after company pauses Twitter advertising

A shed load of hurt feefees.

Fun times

I was referring specifically to the Trump platform incident. The current claim ( of which we have no knowledge info ) is that its unspecified. He has asked publicly for what reason that may take place and will likely share one publicly if given, nothing stopping Apple either from publicly responding and pointing to the relevant section guidelines as a reason, that's perfectly reasonable.

I do think this whole thing is being blown of of proportion until something actually hits the table.

All I'm saying is, even if it's true that they threatened to boot the app, he would know why. The App Store guidelines are so clear that even Trump's app developers could follow them without being booted, your own experience with it seems to indicate they will tell you exactly what is wrong. I also find it weird that they would threaten to remove the app where they probably spend a significant portion of their ad budget on, well...not anymore I guess

Yawn. Okay.

Sorry to bore you with the truth, but well done for taking it on the chin.

Yeah, that's not great. Am all for Apple having the ability to curate certain types of Apps on their own platform but curating search terms on an existing app is very dodgy. Another reason for me to dislike Apple (not like I needed another one).

Same here. I just spent another R14 000 on another Apple product, taking my lifetime Apple spend to over R150 000.

I don't want to have to burn them in protest.

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.

Sadly journalism has been replaced by ideological bottom feeders desperate to pay their bills while knowing they’re in a dying industry.

All these “journalists” are nothing more than activists hiding behind the “journalist” label.

The last real journalist is Julian Assange. The rest are all a bunch of losers with an agenda. They say hell is filled with Politicians, Lawyers and Journalists. Makes sense

Very cool company, this Apple.

Well, you cannot have people questioning authority.

Is this why Musk hates free speech so much? I mean other than his own free speech since he's rich and therefore gets to say or do whatever he feels like.

Then you start questioning why ANC is modifying the electoral bill. And then you question why is Biden doing the same in USA.

I didn't realise Biden had switched to the Republican party to help in their campaign to disenfranchise people who vote wrong, i.e. for the Democratic party.

It's extremely telling that Pfizer and tech giants like Apple are against free speech.

They're only doing this because they're overregulated and overtaxed. The solution is to give corporations more power.

See, now you are are a text book case of what fake news does. You would be known as "the useful idiot".

Hopefully Elon can help fix you.

It's okay. Like the other newsoutlets who boycotted and left the platform, when they see they are losing income and visitors, they will be back on the platform pushing in even more money. Musk must just be ready to charge them crazy amounts, like a Billion Dollar for every 100 views and and 10 Billion Dollars for every 50 clicks on the ads.

Yes, because Monopoly money demands will show them!

The app stores are too powerful, musk needs government legislation to override them
Sell directly from the website

They shouldn't be allowed to decide what apps owners can run on their hardware. They can decide what goes into their store, but should allow users to install from wherever they like. That's probably coming whether Apple likes it or not. I'll happily support laws forcing Apple to open up the platform. If they don't like it they can get out of the phone, tablet and watch business.

Now that would be some irony, Musk wanting the government to interfere on his behalf.

 

[s0lar]

lolz at all the twitter replies from iphone saying twitter should be kicked from the app store.

That's the height of irony.

Oh dear. We have another one.

Shem.

@Gyre make a meme simping for trillion $ companies instead of billionaires. Like that billboard one.

Why must they open up the platform? It's not freeware or opensource?
