So is Apple angling to remove twitter from IOS?
That can't be right, surely. So everybody with an Apple phone will not be able to access the app
It's incredibly unlikely that they'll do this.
HAHAHA
Says the man who told everyone they should vote for the party of election deniers.
Imagine being so stupid, that you think civilization, free speech and tyranny are dependent on the social media website you paid too much for

Ooh, could this be another 'right wing CT' about to be true? Either way looking forward to it!

Just a check here….billionaire has normal peoples best interest at heart with this free speech stuff?
All with a background of disaster capitalism with this reorg. Complaining about people pulling ads? Well, a bit stronger than complaining.
Twitter can be funny and informative but goes to show why there should be no anonymity on social media. Full free speech with no anonymity I could go for, it makes people think before they “spew”
It all looks a bit Lex Luther if you ask me.

i agree, but they are well within their grounds to ban the app if it breaks the extensive rules in place.
The lack of content moderation is almost certainly against Apple's rules.
App Review Guidelines - Apple Developer
The App Review Guidelines provide guidance and examples across a range of development topics, including user interface design, functionality, content, and the use of specific technologies. These guidelines are designed to help you prepare your apps for the approval process.
Which makes it clear that any significant change in Twitter's moderation would break the T&C.
Further to this, various countries also have content moderation requirements. For example in Germany, it is a legal requirement to remove reported hate speach and racism etc. within 24 hours, or gave fines of 50million euros per incident. These rules look to be adopted by the whole EU next year.
This then puts legal pressure on Apple and Google if their platforms are supporting apps that violate national and international rules..
I guess what has happened is Apple has simply pointed out the legal requirement of a social media app to be in the App store, and Musk has rushed to the internet because he insists on being able to publish jate speech, all while banning anyone calling him a name.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong with this, but it could be like how android does it, in that, of they remove it, it doesn't get removed from phones, it just stops new people downloading it. Those that have the app already continue to have it.
Exactly lol
I feel attacked! It's the coke I drink. If you're going to go sugarless, you may as well go caffaine free too!
No, but it's common sense right? Only an idiot would think I know what I'll do now I'm unsuspended, I'll carry on with the behaviour that got me suspended in the 1st place that's clearly a violation of the tos..

That's all he wanted I think.

Yeah maybe Elon should ask Zuckerberg how things went when he went head to head with Apple. Things didn't work out too well and his company's stock tanked from $376 to $108 and he didn't even get near having the app removed from the App Store.
And the idea that Apple asserting its 1st amendment right to not spend its money on Twitter is anti American is laughable and yet the Elon bros are lapping it up.

Genuinely believe to help save twitter all Elon has to do is delete his own twitter account.
I'd be surprised if Apple do end up removing Twitter from the App Store, but Phony Stark attempting to shame Apple into resuming spending their ad money with him is next level craziness. Apparently Apple was the biggest ad buyer on Twitter. Not good news for a company that needs to start being profitable.
I'm sure it was all the fault of 'activists' though and definitely not because Elon is a basket case with no plan.

But most of these people that were suspended had multiple warnings and temporary bans before given a final warning which they all ignored and proceeded to continue breaking the rules.
Why do you think they would change, and even if you think they might why do they deserve to be unsuspended?
Over 50 of Twiiter's top 100 ad spenders have paused activities and are not buying ads. Musk replied to someone agreeing to the suggestion to name and shame the advertisers. That is just plain nuts.
He seems to actively wants Twitter to die
