Comment on Robert De Niro accuses Apple of censoring awards speech
helenslunch@feddit.nl 10 months agoApple always have these convenient excuses in their back pockets. Makes much more sense to me that DeNiro was telling the truth, especially given recent events.

Nobody ever said he was lying. He made a statement, live, based on his current understanding of the situation. Later, someone else offered a perfectly plausible explanation.

it’s too much of a coincidence that the removed parts were the most controversial ones. that’s a pretty weird change for allegedly an “older draft version”.
additionally, it’s not the first time Apple has removed controversial topics in a short period of time. I might not agree with DeNiro at all, but I’m convinced that those parts of the script were removed purposefully by Apple.

What’s plausible or reasonable about independently editing someone else’s speech and not even bothering to make sure they knew about it?

The person you were replying to also didn’t say he was lying?

I'm aware, but at the moment on stage, it wasn't possible for him to know the truth in the first place so it's not about whether we think De Niro was "telling the truth." He was speculating.

He made a guess based on the evidence he had. It may or may not be “true” or factual. Either way, he wasn’t lying, and the person you responded to didn’t say anything about him lying.
