I don’t understand this attitude which consists of censoring objectionable content like one sweeps dirt under the carpet.

If what these people are saying is illegal, just go and arrest them, make them face a judge and go to jail.

Otherwise, let them have fun with their silly petty flat earth theories, or whatever imaginary BS they fancy.

Why should Apple or Twitter have to maintain platforms full of content that 99% of their useless object to even though it’s legal (bullying, racism, whatever)?

The bar for illegal speech is extremely high, especially in the US. That’s usually a good thing.

I don’t want to read that content. More importantly, I don’t want to advertise on the platform with that content.

Both Twitter and Apple gives you plenty of tools to avoid reading or advertising next to that content. Apple's action has nothing to do with end user preference. This decision was entirely driven by preference of a small group of tech elite.

That’s an extraordinary claim that would be very hard to back up with evidence.
