Twitter under pressure: 'Apple and Google may pull their apps'.

[speak easy]

'Twitter's ex-safety czar... warns Apple and Google might kill their apps.'

Yoel Roth, Twitter's former head of safety and integrity, said his team was empowered by Elon Musk to crackdown on hate speech

Roth said that because 90 percent of revenue comes from ads, Musk is forced to keep the platform safe or risk losing advertisers

However, he warned that the biggest challenge to the Chief Twits goal of a free-speech platform is Google and Apple. The companies could pull Twitter from their app stores if they find safety concerns, with Roth saying that the companies routinely filed complaints'.

Before my departure, I [Yoel Roth] shared data about Twitter’s enforcement of hateful conduct, showing that by some measures, Twitter was actually safer under Mr. Musk than it was before.'

Roth, however, warned that Musk's goal to create an absolute, free speech platform could ultimately be hindered by Apple and Google, who might kick Twitter off their app stores over safety concerns.

1. They should... I also don't want to see any more of it on DU either

I have officially changed the channel permanently on Twitter.

It's officially the Chic FIL a of social media and I don't want to see content from there no matter how tasty the sandwich. I will eat elsewhere, thanks.

2. I have benefitted from the tweets that get reposted here, from trustworthy sources

You don't have to click on the Twitter links if you don't want to, but others here find them a valuable tool in our information toolbox.

3. Personally the time is now

Musk reinstated Libsofticktock, who promptly highlighted LGBTQ activities taking place at a Colorado Springs nightclub, and they we have last night.

It is probably not illegal, but I hope a lot of people start disassociating.

4. I wonder if reporting the app to them influenced their decision.
