of threatening to block Twitter Inc from its app store without saying why in a series of tweets on Monday that also said the iPhone maker had stopped advertising on the social media platform.
The action, unconfirmed by Apple, would not be unusual as the company has routinely enforced its rules and previously removed apps such as Gab and Parler. "Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?," Musk, who took Twitter private for $44 billion last month, said in a tweet., asking "what's going on here?""It wasn't clear to me how far up the Apple food chain that idea went internally and without knowing that, it isn't clear how seriously to take any of this," said Randal Picker, a professor at the University of Chicago Law School.
In the first quarter of 2022, Apple was the top advertiser on Twitter, spending $48 million and accounting for more than 4% of total revenue for the period, the Washington PostTwitter logo and a photo of Elon Musk are displayed through magnifier in this illustration taken October 27, 2022.
Keep up, Reuters! This story has moved on.
Dereliction of duty by whoever chooses to rehash old and incorrect news
A week later?
allover they talked and Apple is back and all is well.
Ummm you might want to check their relationship now. Slots changed since November 28. Good to see your keeping up with your reputation of being untrustworthy. elonmusk easiest part or reshaping Twitter is making more trust worthy than the MSM
Fact check. Apple resumed advertising. You are welcome.
MSM a week behind the actual news. Apple is back to normal advertising rates as of Dec 1-2.
So Apple allows WeChat and Tiktok? Hypocrisy much
This happend like 5 days ago lol
Elon musk turned twitter into a hate mongering right-wing propaganda channel.
I will never buy an Apple product again.
MUSK PHONES COMING SOON HAAAAAAAA
But is he still the richest guy in they world after his purchase of Twitter.
I think it would be very important for consumers and voters to know, who these corporate oligarchs - political theologists are, who are controlling these wealthy corporations and spreading their wealth ONLY to their fellow political sympathizers. elonmusk
They met. They are already back to advertising at the same rate they had been. Now report on the Twitter-Biden collusion info dump you hacks.
News travel that slow? Apple resumed advertising on Twitter. Keep up
Do your research before putting such old news. Things have changed already
Keep posting the stale news with no update & I’ll keep updating it for yo. you are failing at journalism
Yeah. We heard you the first three times.
Old news! Shouldn’t you know this is resolved? Lol
Apple has that right to pull what it airs If it hurts thier reputation . Again elon doesn't get he way and he attacks. Another Trump play book
Late, and inaccurate now based on recent decision to reinstate advertising on the platform.
Apple can do F itself. Apparently free speech and the American people legitimately voting in the President means nothing to them.
Maybe advertisers like Apple don’t want to place their ads next to Nazis on Musk’s free speech platform.
Need to update old news. Spoiler alert...Apple continuing Ad spend & Elon met Tim at HQ
What's the point of following you...if you're weeks late to what we already know 🥲
Old news, please this is so late. Elon posted he met with Tim Cook
Old news.
Old story. elonmusk and tim_cook met recently at Apple HQ and denied any such intentions.
That's how capitalism works. It's their choice. Surely St Elon of Musk understands this. Yes?
LITERALLY YOU ARE SO LATE, since then he has GONE TO APPLE AND SPOKE DIRECT TO TIM COOK AND SETTLED THIS AND IM AN EVERYDAY CITIZEN AND EVEN I KNOW THIS! You’re supposed to be the journalists and you’re making yourself look like a joke just fwi
You arrive like a week late with this news. Or are you repeating it over and over again?
Musk and Cook are said to have reconciled. Catch up
It's the money
Iphone sux
Kind of water under the Bridge. Old news? There is something called Twitter.
Apple looks like Tesla being Tesla …
I thought they had kissed and made up?
Old news.. why are you deliberately hurting your company?
Notícia velha...
What happened to real time reporting
Reuters’ automated tweet system has needs some human intervention.
Wasn't this like 5 y ago?
This is old news (maybe fake news 🤷🏻♂️) they already talked it out…
Old news. This has been settled days ago
Stop keep stirring s..t like you always do. Why don’t you tweet ‘Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store,' Musk tweeted aft he met Tim Cook !
Turned out to be just one of a string of lies by elonmusk
You are 30 days behind
Buy Apple, Elon !
This is Monday's news. News by it's very nature should be current otherwise it's just a historical blurb. Much like this outlet.
constantly publishes lies, without regular proofs, without saying why. Why? 🤷♂️😎
Old news. This is like 5 days late.
I think Mr Musk should have stuck to his core business and not get involved however indirectly, with politics.
Apple is the largest individual advertiser on Twitter. Everybody is cutting down their ads because it’s chaotic now. Elon is envious of Jobs, because he stopped being a jerk when he learned empathy. Got a wife and family. Didn’t call criminals and fascists “free speech.”
Reuters story fairly challenging Apple… Let them try to respond they aren’t bad rotten apple that fell too far from tree
You guys need to try and keep up
Reuters.. you need to move faster.
Stop spreading hate! We all know this is old news already.
How is this news?
Time to elevate a fully open-source Linux phone!
I would sooner give up my Apple phone than give up Twitter. iPhone Apple
In a democracy Apple has the choice of where to advertise.
Where is YOUR DNC suppression story? Are you going to tell your readers about Democrats and their administration suppressing the Hunter Biden story? ...going after individuals on Twitter to suppress their Free Speech? 'Threatening Democracy?'
Old news. Take that tweet off and rewrite. We count on fresh and real news from you.
That won’t be a good thing to do .
Stop posting old news for clickbait. It's annoying.
Apple works for the CCP.
Isn't that the right of mega-corporo-citizen Apple?! Should they have to bake you a 'gay cake' too?!
Holy crap! Grab the rope and try and keep up! Got anything else that happened two weeks ago that you want to tell us about?
Reuters has no new news ♻️
Free market capitalism. What’s the issue?
What's EM complaining about? People can say what they like -- if we don't like it, we can get up and leave. I doubt Twitter will collapse. It's just a question of how long EM has to fail Twitter before he gives up and puts a grown-up in charge.
Musk is allowing literal nazis back on Twitter and proliferating hate speech on the platform. Any self respecting company should pull their ads.
Apple is complicit. That's why.
Add elonmusk AND ElonMuskIsaGiantTurd to every post and retweet even its about soccer, let's fill up his feed.
Apple is more focused on buying Disney
Good, let the people knows Apple is supporting weak president to make America weak again, Apple uses cancel culture threat to do business with other companys, people should be alerted
Again very old news & already resolved ..
This is old news 🤡 this has already been resolved by elonmusk and tim_cook meeting earlier this week
Seriously, keep up. This is last weeks news. 🤦🏾♀️
Are you surprised Apple hates free speech?
SHOW THE HUNTER BIDEN CASE Twitter as..s..h.ol....e
Musk wants Apple to reward his poor decision making?
elonmusk Apple can advertise where it wants. Not using a site run by a Nazi wannabe is Freedom. Comemierda
Oh, and Elon met with Tim Cook last week. It’s pretty much all worked out. But you guys knew that.
It's about time we stand up to lies, hate And greed
Apple is bad for America.
This was resolved, you’re a bit too late.
Hahahahahah. Apple did say why. Hate speech isn’t allowed.
Time to get rid of and never buy apple !!
You 3 day late, just delete this already
a little late and youre wrong as well
Y'all must be using twitter on internet explorer
I'd say that it's absurd to say that you support free speech, but demand that a company advertise on your site, and promote it on theirs
Is Reuters following information? Visibly they are pushing old negative news. Reuters the destructive media?
Maybe publish a story about this? This should be all over the media, but it’s not for obvious reasons.
Odd, since he called ford directly, and it was more misinformation. Why are the self appointed elite afraid of apple now? Too private?
He says what ever he wants because he’s rich and feels he can buy his way out of anything he says or does. It’s called narcissistic behavior.
Then somersaulted saying Tim Cook assured him that was never the case. So he simply made up a wild accusation for some headlines
He accuses a lot of people of a lot of things.
And it turns out that it was all a lie. Why do you keep repeating elons bs, when now know he's a liar?
Solution … buy Apple 🤷♂️
Lol he knows why. elonmusk stop being a victim drama queen
Reuters and the lame old news from Nov. 28. Remember Reuters, you are on twitter ;)
I would put it like this: Why did he accuse Apple with what was never the case?
Reuters, ICYMI-the story was updated when Elon Musk and Tim Cook had a meeting this week.
All white crayon did was allow gop to continue spreading bullshit. I’d love to see the meltdown if Biden started investigating Don jrs phone for no reason. Fuck it trade hunters laptop for 6 weeks of random drug tests on Don jr.
Still pushing this?
Try to keep up
Question here is, what's your agenda here Reuters? Must be getting paid good money to run rubbish.
breaking: ashley told hannah she might have a crush on jacob
And your next headline is gonna be? 'Bin Laden just attacked Twin Tower'
Twitter on any cellphone browser, what's the difference?
Why post an old story without mentioning they met and it’s all cleared up?
When they see how many more people r on twitter, they will change their minds. There r more republicans in the US that Democrats right now.
Then Elon came back and admitted this information that he himself spread was wrong.
Bout a week late to the party smh
FakeMedia regurgitating old news, trying to divert the attention from the Twitter files. Low level.
Very old news. Apple said they never intended to remove Twitter in a meeting they had with Elon. Reuters should be embarrassed 🚮
Apple don’t like Pepe‘s ALT-Right misinformation network on twitter 🐸
Elon using his company to call out individual people seems aggressive and similar to another formerly banned user in a position of power.
A rotten apple!
Dead news
Disgusting criminal belongs in prison:
Aw Elon it's almost as if they don't want their ads popping up next to tweets by outright racists that you're not doing anything about.
Money is speech.
Apple has the right to choose which companies it does business with and how they spend their ad dollars.
I thought Apple was equating itself to Switzerland….🥴
AI
I thought that problem was rectify?
enough of this....
Notícia velha...
too slow. Try again.
It's tough to be exposed isn't it? Covering for the Democrat corruption is disgusting. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I'm a better journalist then any of you are.
Because apple produced the majority of its products in china and is likely under pressure due to recent protests in the communist state. apple is a pawn
Ridiculous how you publish this outdated story that has already been resolved. You really are clutching at straws.
Wow Reuters I thought you were on top of the news.. hate to tell you you are about a week behind on this one
Say it like it is. Big tech and the media want to cancel Twitter now that it doesn't suit to the narrative.
Wonder if the threat from Apple had anything to do with the fact staff responsible for monitoring Twitter for child abuse images were all sacked, so now there's nobody left to actually deal with it other than a rubbish automated system which says 'no violations found'.
This news is so outdated, it’s ridiculous
You, , are tarnishing your own image. This news should have been updated based on the most recent developments. Maybe your staff are not qualified enough. Excused!
Obviously Musk disagrees with freedom of choice.
And the CCP gives special thanks to Tim Cook and Apple for making a specific iOS that greatly helps the totalitarian regime smash the voice of their people. Who knew the iron fist of oppression wore an Apple watch.
Twitter was moderating some of the AntiSemitism (HateSpeech, not FreeSpeech)…it now became the voice of it…through Musk, realDonaldTrump kanyewest and Cobratate (incels idol abusing women Online)… What’s next, pedofiles?🤦🏼♀️ When with the law stop elonmusk? 🤷♀️
And your Andrea Shalal asked the most biased pushing WH presso against Twitter.... Thanks Elon Musk for supporting free speech worldwide 🌐
….And find out
Why present facts like Musk invention as you have verified that they are true. Are you fair or biased Reuters? Strangely one becomes more confident in Musk than in you
If only there was a reasonable explanation for this.
Yeah. Elon helped the same people that pushed for the Ukraine war. Now you know the kind of people you are working with!
Good for Apple
I use Twitter on the web but not on the Twitter app.
Zero for Apple 🍎 🍏 billions to chief Twitter Tesla Elon musk 🍏🍎
Bakery refuses to sell to a gay couple, that’s free speech. A corp refuses to do business w/His social media platform, that’s censorship?
Even you complain but the Apple management will still have upper hand. Best solution is you create your own smart phone.
The moment I can break away from iOS/android I will
Good for Tim Cook. Elon is clearly PO’ed.
Fuck- I wonder why? Twitter seems like a great brand to be associated with?
So companies now can’t exercise their right to choose where to spend their money and who to partner with? First companies aren’t allowed to ban users they don’t agree with from their own platforms. Elon Musk is just another crybaby.
Advertisers have a right to avoid reputational stain as a result of the decision to flood Twitter with neo-nazis.
This isn’t news until Apple confirms or denies it.
elonmusk Apple is worried someone might say something honest, like I dunno 'how about you offer Global recycling for your obsolete products, and pay something in return for your old gear, so that young people don't steal to get the latest iPhone etc.'
Interesting that people don’t understand that even tho he has restored accounts Musk is still going to uphold the laws of the land toward hate speech and violence. Suppressing voices you don’t agree with is dangerous to free speech
Well Elon, you fucked around and found out.
Maybe companies aren’t really sold on the type of racism, bigotry, hatred, and misogyny that this new Twitter brings? elonmusk
That’s a war apple will lose GTY
Perhaps elonmusk shall create a Tesla Cell phone 🤷🏻♂️
I hated Twitter before musk, but now it's somehow worse with his face all over the platform.
The Swamp again.. Why the leftists are scared from the truth ?
You guys are annoying tweeting the same thing all day long. Who gives a shit what musk accused Apple of.
😂😂😂😂If necessary he will buy Apple
Because Tesla is better than iPhone
Apple is anti free speech. I hope people who buy Apple products realise what they are supporting
Apple should trend cautiously, free speech supporters shall ditch Apple handsets, Apple cloud, music and in-app purchase. Don’t be like Europe this winter ❄️
😝 What a douchebag elonmusk is, I can’t even
If Apple deletes twitter Elon should definitely invest in having his own phone likes a Tesla phone why not.
Lol, you're accusing Musk of lying, without saying why, when we all know why anyone is pulling out of Twitter right now, they support extreme authoritarianism, fascist censorship, and the muting of half the world's voice. I have never and would never give them one cent.
屠龙者终成恶龙！
A joke of a headline. Apple has pulled almost all advertising from Twitter and has threatened to remove Twitter from the App Store, all without justification from Apple
Leftist only want Leftist Propaganda proliferation of the news
Why would any advertiser want to place ads on Musk’s company.
Elon simps mad apple is capitalisming and now capitalism shouldn’t be allowed unless it’s only to the benefit of Elon. Free market. Deal
Everyone got a boss
Apple is just exercising its free speech, cry more maga red hat pieces of sht💩
Time to produce the Star-Link phone.
apple removing twitter from the app store would be suicide.
APPLE GOTTA GO! BIG TECH NEEDS TO BE REIGNED IN OR CANCELLED!
Elon will win. He always does when it comes to matters of business (hence why he’s the richest person in the planet)
Apple has standards, Twitter no longer meets them
*mostly stopped. do better
Apple would definitely great harm to its name if it starts bullying wars! I for one would not buy another Apple item ever again.
So it’s ok for Elon to run his business anyway he wants but if Apple runs their business the way they want then Apple is the devil! Seems kind of hypocritical
Apple ignoring Elon on Twitter is priceless..
So funny you just posted this... Ironically I'm on Twitter and just finished reading the thread. We don't need you anymore we are the news...
Freedom of speech means sometimes you lose, Elmo.
Barf. Having the world run by giant man babies born rich with low IQs is getting really old.
Apple is a self righteous, arrogant, group of pricks.
Given what Apple did with Parlor (whether one agrees with it or not), nobody should doubt what elonmusk is saying. Apple are free speech opponents. That’s obvious.
That's normal, they become competitors.
MoreIdiotSavantThanGenius AmateurHour MuskyTwitterSUCKS
really smart and competent ceo
Yeah tim_cook 👍👍
