We need the investigation to take place

Just like the multiple Republican investigations into Hillary, that ended up exonerating her completely? Sure, I won't object to that. Let the Republicans waste even more public money on a politically motivated witch hunt instead of spending their time and resources on the southern border and the drug crisis, which is literally what they promised to do during the mid-terms.

If Hunter is guilty, lock him him up. If his father is implicated, impeach him. No skin off my nose.

If you're wondering how Twitter's glorious new age of anti-woke free speech is coming along, I just received a 7 day suspension for referring to Elon Musk as a 'cretinous gimp.'

So mean tweets are still off the table.

:p

I'm sure those defending Elon and agree with all the accounts that were suspended and now brought back, they will he outraged by this? No, not one of them cares? Shocked, I am!
 
Why? Twitter has unsuspended accounts, if those accounts carry on with the behavior that got them suspended in the 1st place they'll get suspended again? Not rocket science is it.

It'll be an interesting show down between Apple who, I personally believe, are only as successful as they are due to the Cult of Apple versus the Cult of Musk.

The ‘Cult of Apple’ is a thing because they make high quality, well designed products that are sometimes not the best value for money. The Cult of Musk is a thing because, well I dunno actually. Spicy memes? Teslas with build quality issues? Maybe one of our resident Musk super fans could chime in on why they love him despite him obviously being a low quality human.

If he's not trolling (50/50) he's only just found out one of the things that is extremely common knowledge with anyone who pays attention to tech*, or has ever looked at putting something on one of the app stores...

He's not been sat there by himself for the past few days, he almost certainly knew about the app store charges.

He’s now saying Apple are threatening to take Twitter off App Store but won’t say why.

That's quite plausible, Spaceship man bad remember and Apple is a little bit dodgy, they are at risk of responding to Spaceship man bad stuff in the US just as they seem to have responded to the CCP in China.

See, for example, this claim from the Guardian:
www.theguardian.com

Apple limits AirDrop on iPhones in China after filesharing feature was used by protesters

The AirDrop function was being used to anonymously share digital leaflets with strangers, but has now been restricted on iPhones in China
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

I suspect it is more likely they don't remove Twitter from the app store as it would upset plenty of customers, most people are still using it, there hasn't been a mass migration to Mastodon or whatever.

Yes I shared it didn't I?

If it didn't go through I'll share it again.

It appeared to show the opposite of what you claimed, perhaps you could give him a timestamp for the quote you're referring to?

there's a difference between free speech and things such as incitement to violence, harressment etc. You know this though you are just being obtuse :rolleyes:

Calling Musk a ‘cretinous gimp’ is neither of those things, nor is it against Twitter’s TOS unless it was tweeted directly at your boy Elon. Even if it was, if I went on Twitter and called some random user the same thing, the chances of getting banned are near zero. You know this though and are just being obtuse

No you are so wrong free speech is the right to say what ever you like without fear or consequence ......... as long as those things are right wing, have you been sleeping under a rock
 
old news - Apple app store already has an anti-competitve legal case , musk doesn't need them, why his faux concern to his followers.
 
Who is behind all these large companies suddenly deciding Twitter isn't towing the line? It's so strange. Twitter allows free speech and suddenly every corporation is against it, is the West actually better than China or are we just more subtle?
