Didn't Parler get booted from the app store for inadequate moderation policies? What does it mean when the big twit reverses all those previous moderation decisions, doesn't that effectively end moderation as posted in their TOS, and wouldn't that warrant a ban from the app store until they properly reimplement the policy??

BTW, the number of ads on this site right now on the home page are disgusting.

There are no more ads than normal on the homepage.

If you're referring to the Black Friday deals posts, feel free to not click on them, the same as you shouldn't click on anything else you don't want to read.

If they are so disgusting then how much would you be willing to pay for a subscription to AppleInsider? $5/mo $10/mo. Sure we all just hate ads don’t we but ads are what make the world go around. Without ads free OTA broadcast TV would not exist. You must not know much about business and how a blog like AppleInsider pays the bills. Let’s see, there’s the domain service, the bandwidth, the employees, the taxes, the accountants, the lawyers. What did I forget. No, it’s the freetards of this world that are disgusting because they have no clue.

Apologism and defeatism, nice, and a bit overly sensitive me thinks.

Be very careful there Phil. More than  Half of this country  and likely more than half of the Apple users agree with Musk and his views on Free speech .

So political statements like this is not what shareholders want to see. 

Ironically you are advising him to be weary of expressing his own free speech.

Well no, as long as he represents Apple and is beholden to shareholders, he has a duty to act in a manner that will not damage the shareholders

if he resigns, he can ran around with his pants off protesting a Twitter no problem!

Maybe the future of social media is one social media engine used exclusively by conservatives, and a different one used exclusively by socialists. Companies with a political agenda will use only one of these two engines, and they won't even advertise on the engine that doesn't suit their own political agenda. Neutral companies may never be allowed to advertise on either platform because they will be banned by each platform if they advertise on the other platform.

Basically, you have to pick your side before you can interact with anyone on the Internet. Ultimately, socialists will have their own nationwide VPN and conservatives will be forced to have their own too. This will finally bring peace to the Internet. At least nobody will argue about politics anymore because everyone will be on their own political VPN.
