Seriously? If people didn't depend on it there wouldn't be this massive uproar over it. They depend on it the same as they depend on facebook, instagram, and other social media sites.
Don't bother pointing out the hypocrisy. They never have a good response to it.
Apple is under no requirement to advertise on Twitter.
If you are against free speech, why not just move to China & live where no one has the right to free speech where "misinformation" decisions are always made for you & original or different thoughts are best not uttered allowed unless you want to find yourself unable to enter your government controlled apartment?
I LOVE Twitter today over Twitter before Musk took it over. I can say "There are only 2 genders!" on Twitter today without fear of having my account deleted. I can talk about the deadly, imo, vaccines without worrying my account will be gone in a moment. Today I can disagree openly with mainstream media narratives without loosing my Twitter account.
I wish Elon Musk luck & hope he ENDS censorship on all social media platforms through his excellent work protecting & promoting free speech on Twitter.
I never imagined a company who used to proclaim, "Think Different!" would become anti-Free speech & pro-censorship as Apple appears to be today. Sad.

Define Hate speech….
It’s just their narrative mate. After all they are the ones that invented and helped cancel culture to thrive.
Please people give us one example of how toxic Elon is ? And please don’t use the point of space Karen lmao
We just don't like hate speech, racism, and people who threaten to cause harm over the Internet.
There's plenty of right leaning people on Twitter who were never banned or restricted because they managed to not behave like psychopaths. Even our former president, saying all the horrible things he did, didn't finally get banned until he started whipping his followers into causing a freaking insurrection that got someone killed.
I only wish Steve Jobs was still around to just crush Elon.

I don't think Elon knows how to drive. He relies on Autopilot.
Not sure if sarcasm or not.
The irony of the statement is hilarious. Twitter is banning accounts that voice anything against Musk by demonstrating his verification policy is pointless or any employee who disagrees with him. Elon is trying to control the narrative not let free speech win out.
All Apple is doing is protecting their brand. They won't advertise on Twitter because they don't want to be associated. They also don't want to distribute the Twitter app if it is not moderated to prevent hate speech and fake news because they also don't want to be complicit.
Elon is within his rights to moderate Twitter and ban whichever accounts he chooses to ban -- it is his company. He can take his ball and go home.
But he cannot force or expect other companies to support him and go down with his sinking ship.
I get served apple ads in twitter all the time, so I dunno what he’s talking about.
I used to be a fan of Musk’s, and I do admire what he’s done at Tesla and Space X. But it’s increasingly clear that something has happened with him. He’s basically just a right wing troll now. It’s sad to see, honestly.

funny how people on here now must choose musk's side and attack apple's control of app store, or side with the app store and attack musk
Exactly! The list is limitless! 😂
Sounds like a legitimate question in reality…
I think Twitter's ex workforce would consider him highly toxic.

Agree with you 100%. Especially the 2nd statement you made.
I think Elon Musk just thrives on attention now. It’s the attention that makes him happy now. Toxic and brutal.
Money the root of all evil 🗣️
I'm sure you understand Apple is not a government entity and not required to support free speech. Do you believe the integrity of all government elections should be absolute? Well, what about the integrity of all information? Do you believe anything can be posted to social media platforms even if the information is patently false and disrupts the well being of citizens?
And yet you're ok with the Taliban being on Twitter?
Free speech was ok when the left was running Twitter. How many left wing accounts were shut down compared to right wing accounts?
Na. He’s just fed up with the woke and extreme left. He’s moderate.
Pretty funny actually. Musk wants the illusion of "free speech" without the private market decisions that come with it. No, Elon, they don't "hate free speech", they hate the hate speech, racism, and bigotry that you have let back on your site.
Oh God. Living in your head rent free hahaha cmon now…
Elon is like the cranky shop owner yelling behind leaving customers who don't like his behavior....
