“Apple\n \n has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why,” Musk said in one of several tweets Monday taking aim at Apple\n \n and its CEO for alleged moves that could undermine Twitter’s business. In another tweet, Musk claimed that Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. “Do they hate free speech in America,” he said, in an apparent reference to his oft-stated desire to bolster his idea of free speech on the platform.
Various civil society groups, researchers and other industry watchers have raised concerns about Twitter’s ability to effectively moderate harmful content and maintain the platform’s safety following widespread layoffs and mass employee exits at the company. Musk has also claimed he wants to amplify “free speech” on the platform and has begun to restore some accounts that were previously banned or suspended for repeatedly violating Twitter’s rules.
Old news
Why advertisers withhold their advertising. 1. Cost does not equate to revenue generated from advertising. 2. The negative Public Relations if their products are associated with racist and xenophobic Tweets. 3. The EU bans products that disseminate lies and hate speech.
Outdated news published now? 😬
Pull twitter out is great idea, twitter has no integrity and respect, it’s focus is solely to money making and running on the propaganda platform
Could be even more devastating for Apple
But Apple will also lose as a lot of people will go to google to download the app.
Your news isn’t new.
.....Didn't Elon post hours ago that he and Tim Cook talked and thats not true? Its like you have a preferred outcome in this.
Catch up dipsticks.
More than an hour ago (when you posted this) he also updated that position. Jeez, you guys are good!
How do you like them apples? 🤣
You're like the internet explorer of news.
I’m waiting for Elon to buy Apple.
Sucks sweaty ball sacks!!
why would you put this out an hour ago when Musk and Cook had a meeting earlier and settled the issue today? this was news 2 days ago. fire your Twitter guy CNN
Y’all a little late to the party. elonmusk went to their crib and talked it out, like professional adults should.
NaijaFlyingDr Even after he had tweeted meeting with Tim and resolved every misunderstanding? Y’all still published this? 😂😂
The Democrats in our country should just admit it! They will try to destroy everything they don’t like, free speech and the constitution is in their way to getting what they want
Lol how are you just now posting this! He went to Apple head quarters today!!!
We don't care.
You need to keep up on the news … Musk and Tim Cook met and Cook will not be taking Twitter off the Apple App Store. Keep up, CNN.
You guys clearly don't follow elonmusk on Twitter or are purposefully lying to everyone.
Why is CNN still on Twitter? Please leave! No one watches you fake news, it would be nice if you wasn’t available on Twitter also!
I don’t know why everyone is against Elon. It’s his business and he’s allowed, in this country, to run his business as he wants. This isn’t communist China you know. 😳 If you get offended easily, don’t get on Twitter. Period
Come on CNN. This shit is from 3 days ago and it is resolved.
CNN is slow.
What is apple thinking? Do they think they own our freedom of speech and expression?
Hey, Chris Licht, is no longer the best source for news—Twitter is! elonmusk Musk met with tim_cook today. Tell me no one at CNN knew that?
CNN is a JOKE every one knows it is FAKE
Guess you guys post lots of crap, but it wouldn't occur to you to check the information before, would it? Check latest tweets from Elon. Really not that hard
Remember CNN+? Do you….do you remember that?
You're pathetic, everyone is on to CNN
Still pushing the narrative.
Misinformation. This is old news it’s been updated . Man cnn really are garbage at news 😂cnn = criminal Nancy’s network
.elonmusk Looks like CNN does not read your tweets 🤔 🤣
Wow are you late. Elon met with Tim Cook and they had a group hug and Apple is not going to pull the app so..nice try bozos
Groan! Your tweet is less than an hour old, referencing a three-day old claim. Yet you ignore today where Musk met with Apple and Apple has no such plan! Do better!
Did they meet after Tim Cook returned from meeting with Congress yesterday?
This is a lil dated. Cmon guys. Be less bad.
Ummm did someone forget to look at their twitter feed and see they worked it out? Demonstration of how twitter is a better news source.
It’s all good, my boy was hanging out at the Apple HQ today.
This post is OBE. Get with it
A day late and a dollar short
Unfollow
He was just at Apple Headquarters… 🤔
Already resolved. Try to keep up 😂
Donovan70068073 Old news and Elon already confirmed with Tim Cook it’s not happening all is fine.
Your news is old - update yourselves.
Fake news. No wonder CNN is getting booted to the curb.
Good for Apple
So Musk screams that he's being victimized by evil Apple, get his cult followers in a froth, has DeSantis threaten congressional action, and now... it's forgotten. I can't wait for the next attention seeking outburst from this guy.
He lied to get attention. It’s what he does.
Let em. Do you truly think a man with aspirations of colonizing Mars would just...Roll over? elonmusk
Wrong. You forgot to add that the apple CEO has refused to do it because he’s concerned Musk will start his own cellular company to compete with Apple. Post real news CNN
cnn desperate to push an old narrative. Tim Cook met with Elon today and it was reported that it was not threatening to pull twitter.
How was this just tweeted when Musk already said he talked to Tim Cook and everything is fine?
You clowns need to keep up! Apple had elonmusk round for tea, even took him a walk in the garden.. There will be no cancelling Twitter from the app store!
It'd be more threatening to apple than it would be to Twitter. Where would Twitter iphone users go if apple pulls it?
Why are you still running this? Your journalist must suck if they haven't got the recent update on this.
Cnn is so desperate for clickbait. Elon visited Apple HQ and was assured twitter will never be pulled. He even sent some nice pics. Shame what counts as journalists these days
I bet Apple will lose more than Musk
They have actually solved this and the app is still available.
He made it up, keep up cnn
It's starting to look like twitter is much better and faster news source than any NEWS channels when shadow banning and censorship is not present. I understand why government don't like it
How embarrassing for CNN. I read Elon’s post hours ago that this situation was resolved. CNN posts ‘misinformation’ 15 minutes ago....old news. Who needs a misinformed news source?
Bruh, just go to elonmusk Twitter. You posted this 17m ago, so maybe a mistake? But still, you shouldn’t just assume.
CNN can't keep up with the news
Try to keep up. Apple is still advertising, this is just banter. Pay attention to the accounts that Elmo is actually actively banning. That’s where the story is. ⬅️⬅️
Should be criminal
Do try to keep up with the news
Sad to see him stoop to Trumpist tactics...
Gosh, I can’t imagine why Apple wouldn’t want to continue to support a vehicle for domestic terrorism, racism, homophobia, misogyny, anti-semitism which just invited back the 1 instigators, bots, insurrectionists behind one of the largest attempts to overthrow our democracy
cnn did this on purpose, gaslighting
Breaking: Elon Musk buys Apple, fires COE, frees up Apples strangle hold on apps, vows to take back Chinas access to ALL apple products, sorry, that's tomorrows news
Apple totally fine with you pulling this AP, just saying. Don't need to see lies, misinformation and Rep Jordan when I log in. Garbage AP.
Story already changed about 6 hours ago.
Please be innocent people voice نه_به_کشتن_بلوچها MahsaAmini مهسا_امينی
Old fake news!
he lied
That's not very democratic of the people at Apple,, what are they a Communist Company made in China or Russia ?
For sure CNN... For sure.
Poor billionaire, I'm so sad for you, Elon /s
Hay siempre una guerra en este mondo.
Boycotting Apple shit goods is the only cure
Apple couldn't do this without a huge sue for abuse of monopoly power.
La prepotencia!
You are late,,, he tweeted that it was a misunderstanding
Don't believe him
First of all 🖕 CNN, Second I don’t believe a word that comes from this traitor communist website!
Out with the old. In with the new!😁
I mean, twitter can’t become much more unprofitable
After the people of the world found out that the Apple mobile company is threatening the world's most popular media in the world such as Twitter, the people of the world tried to review the real work of the Apple company, which is suspected to be secret intelligence.
Not good. Talk on table than divide the strength of world users. Any problem has right solution.
Are you looking for a YouTube Promotion Expert? 👉I'm here to help you:
Hope Apple does so.
I do not think so. This is mostly man on twitter and man do not use iPhon so much as Androids. In whole world Mobile OS - Android 70.96% - iOS 28.43% (Apple) so iPhon 28% mostly woman is NOT a threat for twiter Musk USA twitter
For example big tech & the mainstream media clearly lied about the Hunter Biden laptop in 2020 & there’s evidence that affected the election outcome disenfranchising millions. There should be an action for that.
Thay would be awesome!
When access to information is gate kept by one or two companies their sole ability to hide, downplay or mischaracterize important data is untenable to a free society. They either need to be regulated or allowed to be sued when they incorrectly block something.
If people want to use twitter, they don't need to go to any app store, just a web page where they can download the app with a link from Apple and Google are trying to have a monopoly on advertisement and trying to kill big competition using BS excuses 🤪
So this is about two boys with big toys? Remind me why having ultra rich buy up all the companies is a good thing?
apple will pull the twitter app for free speech, but wont say a word about balenciaga promoting kiddie porn
If Apple does that Musk needs to sue Apple for a trillion $ on the basis that companies that sell to the public can’t discriminate on who they sell to except for religious exceptions. Would a company be allowed to not sell to say democrats for ideological differences? I think not
Lol
I hope they will do.
I double dog dare him to do it… twittersucks
Apparently CNN never graduated past checkers.
People will be forced to use another brand of phone.
Gfy Elon
ATTENTION please:Tomorrow Islamic Regime in IRAN is going to excecution more than 10 kids,because of their peaceful protests in one of the prisons in KARAJ don't let those kids that been kidnapped by IRGC murderers get excecutions! Their parents are waiting for their releases
Sometimes you gotta pull out
Never as devastating as the rating of the fake news outlet CNN!
apple can do what they want. I always wondered if something would push me to android.
Don't you know elonmusk is just yanking your chain? Besides, Apple isn't that stupid to tick off their users for no damn good reason.
Islamic Republic is in the process of executing hundreds of Sistan and Baluchestan citizens without even notifying their families It is against basic human rights Qatar2022 IRNUSA
DO IT APPLE!!
I think Apple should go ahead and do it, someone needs to remind Elon that he's a mere mortal.
Apple supports and promotes CCP owned and operated TikTok but feels Twitter threatens society. Tells you all you need to know about Tim Cook and his mega corp...
Big tech has far to much power. A bunch of leftist own and run most of tech. Since these leftist are communist, they are happy to silence and shut down anything that goes against the narrative. Diversity of thought is more powerful than they understand. Why leftist are scared
And there you go again blowing things out of proportion because it was a slow news day for the commie propaganda tool.
Could be devastating to Apple as well. My Apple products and services support would completely end. Ironic that Tim Cook and Apple support slave labor production of Apple products in China while trying to end free speech in the USA. What kind of company is Apple?
Devastating? Just regular devastating or CNN+ devastating?
Hmm! Then people will go to Amazon's Appstore. How does that hurt Twitter? Maybe hurts Apple!
Oh sorry republicans. Your investment,
From an Apple fan from the beginning this is the most disappointing thing Apple has ever done.
A sh*t ton of people even want apple to ban twitter. Cause then Elon will produce his own phone and would win again with his starlink. BTW how is your buisness doing? 😂
Free speech = free ads. End Musk censorship!
In other Twitter news...
I would pivot away from Apple to Samsung immediately, if they pull that.
Buy Apple. Make them an offer they cannot refuse.
That would be absolutely despicable if Apple does that! ..
They wouldn't dare!
Apple wants him to renegotiate deal lol......
And they should… With Musk allowing a shitshow of an operation, foreign and malevolent entities will be coming back and joining and it puts Apple’s customers ar risk.
Fingers crossed. Would be a wonderful Christmas gift.
Not only Apple but all US loving companies should do the same Elon Musk is a money crazy greedy man. All for himself and nobody else.
elon Criador da spacex Tesla Entre outras Não deixará isso acontecer Como criador de objetos Pode simplesmente criar um aparelho melhor do que a Apple 🍏 e redimir
The power of choice; a taste of his own medicine. Apple’s CEO can do whatever they want lol.
There's a price to be paid for palling around with and empowering bigots
Elon Musk and his Twitter app are trying to violate the rules which Apple have set for EVERY COMPANY TO FOLLOW - thus allowing small app designers and producers to compete. ELON IS A SNOWFLAKE
Why threatened in quotes? Is cnn asserting that they didn't threaten?
Dasurv mo yan, fascist lover!
All good.
Apple will lose much more than Twitter will .
better move would be for users to BlockAllAdvertisers as they scroll
Why do you hate free speech?
CNN can tell musk all about losing millions! CNN continues to lose
If Elon Musk releases the information on the Suppression of Hunter Biden's story Apple threatens to pull the app for tweeter. Report by Tucker Fox News. elonmusk
Let’s go Tim, do it!
I’ll throw my Apple iPhone 14 in the trash. Already contemplating…
is triggered too 🤣
Nothing has even changed with Twitter and Democrats are freaking out
Facists!
Lol 😂 Apple forcing him to drop that phone and they know he ain’t ready . Bruh stressing right now
If they did, it would be so fucked up. Like so fucked. That said, I almost suspect Twitter could survive completely off the App Store. Would be wild
Do not worry, he and Twitter will be just find. He is a genius and never a quitter.
Do it
Let them. I ll swing to Samsung and never deal with apple again. Hopefully millions will follow
With companies like CNN no wonder people are acting this way. Y'all should be fired at CNN
Devastating? Not at all.
I deleted my Twitter app. I just open it on my browser and it takes me to the mobile site. Y'all be fine.
It’ll be devastating for Apple!!!! We are the MAJORITY!!! We will dump their ass in a heartbeat!!!
Twitter still works on safari. No app required
Y WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT AN LOOK SXY FOR YYOU SEDUCE YOU ON CAMERA ON Ace ON RAILS RIGHT HEAD
Thrs a free speech revolution gg on. Ppl are sick and tired of this duopoly.. but android is still open sourced
Apple=Fascism
I’ll gladly stop using anything Apple
Lol shut up cnn
Woo “threatened” Really? You caused the mess by yourself And also threatened employees
More Y2K hysteria on the doom of Twitter. Apple would lose in a fight with elon. Let's see how their stock reacts as the feud plays out
Soooo I’ll buy puts against Apple. Go woke go broke.
Good!
luis_montilla7 Why the hell are you on Twitter CNN? Blocking.
lol The announcement tanked Apple’s share price. Clear indication such a move would tank share price further, subsequent loss of revenue would cause even more tanking.. Culminating in class action for violation of duty to shareholders. Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.
That will happen when you actively promote hate speech which is not, surprise, free speech. Neither Apple or Google is under any obligation to carry an app for Twitter. You’ll just need to access it via your phone’s browser.
As “questionable” as things are in Twitterland…Apple have some pretty “questionable” business practices as well. Didn’t workers in China just protest working conditions at an Apple factory?
Might aswell remove every social media app then
elonmusk is already looking into plan B. Apple and Google have too much power anyways. The only reason people are upset is simply because they know Twitter was an echo chamber for left wing propaganda.
Apple will have to allow side loading which would cost them billions on revenue. It’s a bluff and Elon should call it.
Why would Apple do that?
Aww that poor greedy rich Republican hate speech enabler. 😂
Interesting 🧐
Shut down cnn. Useless garbage
Apple might find itself similar to the NFL, Disney, Coca-Cola, NBA and many more Woke companies. Stay in your lane of making widgets.
He might as well start producing smart phones.
Wouldnt be that devestating. Androids are better anyways
elonmusk stop poking the big bear your doing great just don’t fight with apple
You better run and buy Apple now before you go bankrupt 🤣🤣
It’s a shame no one has offered to remove CNN from the media.
Apple also purposely dropped an update to China users right before the current uprising, that censored the users. elonmusk isn't devastated over the loss of Apple.
