      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.

        Understanding it and having to read the whole Wiki page do not have to go hand in hand; you are misunderstanding jet’s intention, or at the very least you are assuming.

        Jet gave an opinion/perspective already and your question was loaded at best, not something which is intended to continue the conversation. Just because Godwin said it should function one way doesn’t actually mean it does. I do not think you are discussing in good faith, and do not see your invoking of “hitler or stalin” is conducive to a quality exchange.

        Do you understand what Godwin’s Law is? Your “hitler or stalin” question is loaded at best, and makes everything after it pointless, as you are bringing up a hypothetical (and impossibility, since they are dead). Bring up someone living who is not in prison.

  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.
