Comment on Apple removes app created by Andrew Tate
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year agoI respectfully disagree, if we think speech is a human right, it has to be for everyone, or it’s for no one.
Let’s say you own a cafe with an open mic night. One day, someone comes in to the open mic night and starts yelling racist slogans and repeating Nazi rhetoric.
You can let them continue because you’re a free speech absolutist, and lose your customers, or you can kick him out.
There is no difference between this and what Apple or YouTube does except for scale.

I agree with you. And I’m not saying Apple, or YouTube or wrong for deplatforming them.
I am pointing out people in this position can take advantage of an open internet to still have a platform for their voice that does not rely on gatekeepers.

Ok, so Andrew Tate can open his own app store. Problem solved.
