There isn't any. Infowars and company were banned from various content platforms for violating platform policies.

i.e. There's flat earth content on Youtube, that doesn't mean Youtube endorses flat earth conspiracies.

The violated policies were in regards to hate speech and bullying, no?

How is this not a far worse case of hateful bullying?

Yeah apparently treating women as property doesn't violate Google's terms. Weird.

It is reported as being used for that, yes, but that is not the same as the platform endorsing the content as the GP was claiming.

Not sure how you see a connection between flat-earthers and the Saudis' treatment of women? It's fine for people to believe the world is flat - it doesn't hurt anyone.

This is in the context of using terminology that G/A lawyers and app approval personnel use, where no humanity is considered and everything strictly objective, eg "if <rule>, then application version denied".

I'm sure Apple will take a stance now that their PR team has to deal with this, but without any eyes on an app, the app can throw moral values to the curb and will only be obligated to follow the approval guidelines.

It's a reiteration of GP's fallacious argument, not an equivocacy to the app in the article. i.e. means id est, or "in other words".
