The owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, has promised to publish materials testifying to Internet censorship – he announced this on the social network. People have a duty to know about the suppression of free speech, Musk wrote.
Musk’s threat comes during his attack on Apple. Musk, who bought Twitter in October for $44 billion, says Apple is in the process of deleting the Twitter app from the AppStore, ie – iPhone owners can’t access Twitter. Apple imposes a secret tax of 30% on everything you buy through its App Store, Musk also wrote, and announced that the iPhone maker has stopped advertising on the social networking platform. “Do they hate free speech in America?” Musk wrote on Twitter.
Later, in a comment below his post, Musk directly asked Apple CEO Tim Cook, “What’s going on here?” No response from Apple so far.
It has already emerged that Apple spent about $131,600 on Twitter advertising between Nov. 10 and Nov. 16, down from $220,800 between Oct. 16 and Oct. 22, the week before Musk closed the Twitter deal, according to data sources. data from ad measurement company Pathmatics.
In the first quarter of 2022, Apple was the largest advertiser on Twitter, spending $48 million and accounting for more than 4 percent of total revenue for the period, the Washington Post reported, citing an internal Twitter document.
