Comment on Apple removes app created by Andrew Tate

I’m not saying their causes of equal merit, but I am saying women’s liberation started as a minority position in society, heavily censored, not provided a platform to speak on. They were extremely unpopular.

By creating open platforms, that anyone can use, we don’t have to rely on the people in power allowing voices to be heard. People’s voices can participate, and survive by their own merits.

Every struggle in society, with a equality especially, starts with secret message passing, secret organization, finding a voice. We need to keep the pathways open so that repressed people can have a voice. Unfortunately that means opinions we don’t agree with, as well as opinions we do agree with.

those are not opinions this is highly predatory behavior and indoctrination of a lowlife which wants to make money with a scheme…

those people don’t need a platform.

  Then I look forward to a court, following due process, putting a media gag order on them taking down their web presence.
  
  It shouldn’t be left up to the whims of private organizations, to remove somebody from the public discourse.

    Part of the reason it was removed is because he was arrested, and because members of the public asked Apple to remove it. This is the government and private citizens influencing a company to deplatform an absolute cunt. And it’s not a whim, that private company has clear and public guidelines for what is allowed on their platform

    Agreed. Fully within Apple and Google’s rights to remove any application from their app stores.
    
    This is why I mentioned progressive web apps as a more independent option.
