There's a million different grounds for Apple kicking an app off its platform, including no ground at all, since that's the nature of a private platform. More than the racism, Apple is not going to let some dumbass start a fight over its cut of the revenue and let them get away with it, even if said revenue is like thirty-six bucks and change.

goatface posted:Apple supposedly used to have a liquid 100 billion dollar war chest to use if they needed poo poo sorted right now and in a nuclear fashion. I wonder if they still do. Hmmm, lets see. *look up 2021 Apple 10-k, scroll down to balance sheet* $134 billion in current assets. If you exclude inventory and receivables, then they have about $80 billion right the gently caress now, and I assume they could get more from receivables quickly if you gave them a couple months notice.

Apple won't remove Twitter for the app store for anything Musk tweets (I mean, Musk, feel free to prove me wrong) but absolutely will if they try to dodge the Apple Store tax so good luck with that one.

I mean... that's probably the reality, but it's not unlikely that he'd have a sycophant pick and choose what gets shown in order to manufacture a narrative. Wouldn't be the first time Elon has had someone make poo poo up on his behalf.

Rigel posted:I'm guessing that Elon's sudden anger and hostility to Apple which may seem to us to be coming from nowhere, is probably due to some recent directive from Apple we don't know about commanding Twitter to make some changes that Elon doesn't like. Given Elon's sudden free speech tirade against Apple, my guess is that Apple said "get rid of the nazis and the hate speech or else" It’s probably just that he’s trying to do features that involve in app payments and is finding out that Apple takes a huge cut of those.

I stopped paying attention to the idiot billionaire for a week and it feels like a I came back to exactly where I left off. Like a sitcom with characters that never learns a lesson. I have never signed up for Twitter. I kept thinking maybe, but then would realize it's all the stupid of the internet compressed. If Elon blows it up because he's mad trans people exist that would really be something. I tell you whut.

Wouldn't be the first time Elon has had someone make poo poo up on his behalf. It's almost a dead certainty that Elon's hand-written "look at the Twitter censorship machine!" report is going to make him look worse. Also, there has been real reporting on Twitter and Facebook moderation and it was well-known that conservatives got the kid gloves treatment while other voices who got dog piled by the conservatives got an arbitrary iron fist.

In all likelihood, Apple will issue a stern warning over the Twitter content, but Lonnie will pull some bullshit about not paying the dev fee, and Tim Apple will let out a huge sigh before pulling the plug.

koshmar posted:He's trying to channel Trump with this vague revelation thing Gives me Qanon vibes, too. "The storm is coming" - a moment when all will be revealed, your Enemies will finally suffer, and you will be vindicated at last. There's people who expect to see something like source code which states "if tweet.sentiment = conservative, then shadowban", or an official human written list titled "Conservatives To Suppress" from Twitter Trust & Safety with a signature at the bottom which states "personally approved by Hillary Clinton". The reality, of course, is that content moderation is messy and difficult and its grey area corner cases all the way down. The actual files would be more like "Here's a chain of two hundred emails and seven documents, with comments, where we deliberated exactly how to define Hate Speech for six months and, in the end, some anti-trans stuff fell under this policy so a few accounts got whacked for repeatedly deadnaming people with intent to antagonize". "Even then, two of the suspensions required director level approval because the accounts were prominent." Chimp_On_Stilts fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Nov 28, 2022 |
