Yeah getting free donuts if you show that you got your vax seems to be counterproductive since the obese were among the most at risk

This is when you truly have “frick you” money.

It is similar to old school tycoons buying papers to use as an attack dog on their critics. Or like Bezos and WAPO on Daniel Snyder.

Maybe they should have offered specially decorated donuts to celebrate monkeypox vaccinations.

I thought the people who quit working for him were going to lead to the downfall of Twitter?

I can see it now

If they come out with the Tesla phone people will judge those who buy it as white supremacists even if it's some dude from Haiti

Being hooked up to satellite Starlink is the main feature IMO.

Being free isn't the ability to say what you want. It is the ability to say what you want in front of whoever you want.

It was reported earlier this week that lockdowns in China would make iPhones unavailable through the holidays.

Not sure how this could possibly help them.

so purchasing apple hardware means you don't actually own it? you can't install any software that is not approved by apple. this just seems super weird to me.

You own it. You can still view and use Twitter through a browser even if it’s removed from the App Store. But Apps are much more effective at engaging your audience and promoting your brand, so it would be a big loser for Twitter if it was taken off the App Store

Apple isn’t saying you can’t have Twitter. But they won’t provide the resources to furnish the app for you anymore. Like a store saying they won’t sell something anymore. It can still be sold to you through other ways, but it’s a lot more difficult than getting it from Walmart

They already think white people are inherently racist. Where have you been living the last 10 year?

This is something that needs to be checked by the courts. Apple should be able to demonstrate impartiality with their App Store or App Store should be a separate business.

Elon needs to make his own phone and app store.

frick the nazis at google and apple who basically demand full control over all companies that have apps in their stores. Wouldn't surprise me if gov is behind the apple and Google censorship also.

Twitter works okay in a browser, too, right? Or will they block that too by building in code to sloooow it down?

My guess is that Apple wants its cut of the blue check money because you can do it through the app.


Various other apps have had issues with payments because the Apple Store wanted transactions run through them.
