Elon Musk said that Apple Inc. has cut back its advertising on Twitter Inc. and even threatened to withhold the social network from its app store, suggesting that a fight is brewing between the two companies.
“Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter,” Musk tweeted on Monday. “Do they hate free speech in America?” He then posted again and included the Twitter account of Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook: “What’s going on here?”

I guess Elon needs to learn what free speech means... even when it comes from a paying advertiser ditching you.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 2:46 pm https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... erify+wall

Hate free speech? Naw. Apparently, we sure do free hate speech over here, though.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 2:46 pm https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... erify+wall

Hate-free speech could lessen the rhetoric wildfire that seems to be growing towards violence. Sorry half-formed metaphor, hopefully it makes sense and can be improved on.Ben-Prime wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 4:08 pmHate free speech? Naw.

Apple will take 30% of Musk’s $8. That’s why he’s pissed. As if it was a big surprise. Don’t like it? Don’t distribute your app on Apple. Google does the same thing. Fortnite already fought this battle and pulled their app off those platforms. Seems to have worked ok for them, I guess.Gregg wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 7:57 pm
No, when you list an app on the Apple Store, Apple charges 30% of whatever you charge for the app. Elmo doesn't want to pay it.
Now, Twitter being free to users, he doesn't have to pay it. So actually, Elmo is just trying to ruin Apple's good will by making people who do pay for other apps hate Apple for taking 30% of that 99 cents they just paid for the Fart app.
And this is who Musk chooses to insult?Musk, like TSG, forgets that some people are big enough to hit back and make it stick.MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 12:45 am It’s being reported that Apple spent almost $50M in advertising on Twitter in the first quarter of this year.
And he just pissed it away for 30% of I think I read $14 million, or $4.2 million.MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 12:45 am It’s being reported that Apple spent almost $50M in advertising on Twitter in the first quarter of this year.
I don't follow those folks; people I follow do. For example Jack Ryan and Dave Weigel follow Jim Jordan, which puts Jim Jordan tweets at the top of my feed. Loren Collins follows Dinesh D'Souza.
I've not experienced my feed being polluted by persons I do not follow. Maybe I have some switch set. Or maybe it's because I have my feed toggled to show "newest" and not the default sort where twitter decides for me what tweets I should read. Perhaps that default "top" tweets sort is what "suggests" tweets of persons they think I may be interested in because someone I follow follows said nutjob person.DrConspiracy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 10:20 amI don't follow those folks; people I follow do.

Just one person remains to enforce the company’s ban on child sexual abuse content across Japan and the Asia Pacific region.
Removing child exploitation is “priority #1”, Twitter’s new owner and CEO Elon Musk declared last week. But, at the same time, following widespread layoffs and resignations, just one staff member remains on a key team dedicated to removing child sexual abuse content from the site, according to two people with knowledge of the matter, who both requested to remain anonymous.
It’s unclear how many people were on the team before Musk’s takeover. On LinkedIn, WIRED identified four Singapore-based employees who specialize in child safety who said publicly they left Twitter in November.
