Culture Alex Jones Coronavirus Conspiracy theories. Newsweek magazine delivered to your door Unlimited access to Newsweek. Nobody can communicate without sick artificial rules in a free country anymore??? Your one and only rule of communication on the Internet should be The American Construction — any other barriers are for children and slaves.
Second thing. Stop fooling yourself. You should already know that Alex was not sentenced by any court in regard of threatening. On the same token we could say that the CNN should be banned by Apple because their mental diarrhoea in the form of spewing anti-Trump propaganda can make some nut takes them literally and go on the killing spree or just made some bunch of random useful idiots go and beating people with the pro-trump MAGA hats on the streets. Oh — wait! Apple and Twitter are doing the right thing.
This is what the proponents of Net Neutrality used to tell me, on these very pages, that I should fear. What, that the United States Government would be threatening to infringe the freedom of website owners to control their private property without due process or payment of compensation for the taking? It has absolutely nothing to do with content creation sites.
Apple is not an ISP. Apple gets to decide what goes up onto its own site. If you want to put Infowars up on your own site, then go for it. Failing to do so will result in an intolerant society.

But asked on Monday why the app remained live even after the podcasts had been pulled, an Apple spokesperson responded in a statement, "Apple does not tolerate hate speech, and we have clear guidelines that creators and developers must follow to ensure we provide a safe environment for all of our users. Podcasts that violate these guidelines are removed from our directory making them no longer searchable or available for download or streaming.
We believe in representing a wide range of views, so long as people are respectful to those with differing opinions. A Google spokesperson told CNN, "While we don't comment on specific apps, we can confirm that our content policies are designed to provide a great experience for users and developers. If an app violates our policies, we take action.
Both Apple and Google approve all apps sold in their stores. Any developer who has an app approved can then apply to have that app listed as "news;" the companies do not limit the category only to those created by legitimate news outlets. Apple and Google did not respond to CNN's inquiries about whether it was appropriate to list the conspiracy theory website in the same category as legitimate news organizations.
Google has similar language , saying it does not allow "apps that promote violence, or incite hatred against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or any other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization.
Either way, it would then end up in the apps. Apple explained the situation in a statement to BuzzFeed News, saying that while Jones' podcasts were in violation of iTunes policy regarding hate speech, the "Infowars Official" app does not infringe on App Store review rules. The statement suggests Apple is keeping close tabs on the Infowars app, which could be pulled from the App Store should its content run afoul of company standards.
