Come on Tim Apple. Do it. You know it’s the right thing to do

Actually, with Google recently losing in court where Apple had previously won because Google was exempting some developers from its App Store rules; Apple might be actually inclined to actually enforce its rules in X’s case lest they suffer the same fate

Apple did remove Parler from the App Store in the past due to lack of moderation. It did not end well for Parler. I don't know how badly it has gotten over there on Twitter though. Is Twitter reaching the Parler level of toxicity yet?

Can we just fucking hold these people accountable already? Stop being afraid of taking them to task…especially when you’re one of the very few entities on the planet who have the resources to do so.

I've never even thought of Twitter's reliance on App Stores. It's hilarious how many hands Elon is biting. It's impossible to keep track of.

I'm not holding my breath here. People seem far too willing to put up with stuff they wouldn't otherwise because it's Twitter. Far too many news orgs still point people to Twitter accounts.

Speaking as a former reddit mod still atoning for my sins, I can say with confidence that the answer to the question: "what would happen if a reddit mod had actual power that mattered?"

Is simply this: Elon Musk would happen.

Cue Phony Stark making his own X Phone.

A bit ironic that under any other circumstances people would be crying out about how Apple has too much power to censor and control apps among a large chunk of the population.

I could see either of these things happening:

• Musk pouts and (laughably) threatens to build a better Apple.
• Musk says he’ll buy Apple. Fails hilariously.

I just reported the X app in the store for hateful content.

Here's a link to the archived article.

If i'm seeing this article on Bloomberg, someone peeped off the record. Xitter is in for a world of pain.

X marked the spot

Hold it in place, Tim, and I'll get my hammer.
