Is Apple a Chineese company or American? Freedom of speech or censorship you choose where you want to live!

As an Apple fan boy since the 80s. I would definitely avoid their products as others should if they try to control speech

Nobody is afraid of Ron the whiner. Apple should give Elon the finger.

So the governor of Florida chimes in regarding a company in California that may or may not have issued a warning to Twitter about putting out erroneous content. Maybe it's incumbent on the owner of Twitter to make sure their content is accurate. Nah to hell with personal

This is what needs to happen.Those bucking what they are trying to make status quo need to link up.There is a conflict raging in this country.

I've never owned a single Apple product in my lifetime and never will.

How many billions of Crapple should we throw in the trash and go somewhere else. I'd like to see a list of companies pulling out so we can cancel them. 👟 On the other 🦶.

Apple is only popular and the most used are only in U.S💯

Encourage full communication. Every opinion, the good, bad, and ugly further the interpretation of facts necessary to solve our concerns. It is wrong to ban communicaton.

I’ll trade in my apple for android asap if they won’t let me have twitter.

So? The man who threatened Disney is now threatening Apple? No surprise here.

Twitter Musk is a toilet and Apple is not required to supply keys to that bathroom.

funny how conservatives have always claimed to love free market capitalism and that government shouldn't interfere with private companies but when the company is doing something THEY don't like all of a sudden they want government intervention. bunch of hypocrites.

[stephenburgess]

DeSantis loves to use state and federal govt to intervene in private companies when they choose to go jn a direction that he feels isn’t in line with his politics. That plus Stop WOKE being a literal violation of the 1st amendment, DeSantis is the definition of a big government politician.

[forrest]

He should hit apple with bunch of fines
