  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.

        Did you actually read your link?

        In June 2018, Godwin wrote an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times denying the need to update or amend the rule. He rejected the idea that whoever invokes Godwin’s law has lost the argument, and argued that, applied appropriately, the rule “should function less as a conversation ender and more as a conversation starter.”

        No, you didn’t read it.

    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.
