> Do I fault Apple for being a rational profit maximizing entity
I mean, if that entity is rationalizing censorship to maximize profit, maybe you should? The alternative is blaming Jon Stewart, and eventually I'm going to get tired of accusing free speech and opinions of being the devil.
- gigatexal 3y agoYeah I get your point. I was hoping they’d make like Time Warner — or AT&T with John Oliver who often throws shade at the parent company but I guess all parties know it’s in good fun. AT&T is not Apple but I think it’s at least precedent.
- smoldesu 3y agoIt's platform politics, at the end of the day. It's Apple's platform, they choose what to stock it with. This whole situation stinks, though. If Jon's being honestly transparent, it's a sad confirmation of how deeply mired Apple is in the current political muck.
- gigatexal 3y agoExactly. This is well said and sums Up exactly what I was trying convey and failing to.
