      Unless Elon capitulates to the censors (or he sells Twitter), the app will be removed from both app stores and probably at the same time. I expect it to be the case within 3-6 months.  I believe Twitter runs on AWS in whole or part (Amazon) so expect them to possibly be deplatformed there as well.

      There will also be federal investigations I am sure.

      The “establishment” lost it’s best propaganda weapon, they won’t sit still for that.

      But do not despair. If Elon continues to make good moves so he does not stumble and maybe even thrives consumers/users can win.  If he develops his own phone its a consumer win.  If Twitter has to move from AWS to Rumble, it is also a win for new tech.  Twitter staying an even playing field is a win for all.

      This is probably their way of throwing their toys out the pram (as the saying goes over here) because they’ve lost.

      He’s winning, we’re winning.

      Made a Twitter account early in the game but never really used it. I may just start using it now to support Elon and his efforts.

      But I’ve stopped using google, don’t sign in with my phone to the Google Apps store (I just install my apps manually) and as far as Apple is concerned they can go sit on a fig.

      It’s like they’ve learned nothing from the Disney debacle.

        Once again.

        The people say “Don’t like our content, go make your own.” Man says “Ok” So the man goes and makes his own (or buys one in the case of Twitter). Since everything now has to be political, companies remove the content from their servers, ISP, etc because it is essentially not on the “proper” side of the narrative. Paypal removes access for payment for vague and untrue reasons. Companies remove from platform for the same vague and untrue reasons. Bank closes accounts for the same vague and untrue reasons.

        What they really mean is “Don’t like our content? Shut up, fall in line, or suffer the consequences”

          Exactly.

          I heard some saying that not only is the world becoming yet again bi-polar (ie cold war), we are seeing that in the western world as well.

          Don’t like twatter, build your own.  In comes Parler and they deplatform it.

          Remove us form the app store, and we will create our own phones.  And since telecoms ARE protected under law from censoring people whom use it to communicate, the various phone companies cannot refuse phones based on who created them.

          Parallel economies, parallel companies.

          Bipolar world indeed.

          We either are forced into a technocracy, or we have freedom/democracy.

          You can’t have both.

            I think the paradigm you are sensing is good and evil.

            I disagree with you slightly on tech vs freedom thing.

            It’s not the tech itself, it’s who is directing it and what it is designed to do.

            The evil is in the centralization I believe.

                The “evil” you speak of is the infiltration of all media and entertainment by agenda driven zealots. Allowing your platform, corporation, and or company to be taken over by them as the cash flow disintegrates because that is NOT what the masses want…”cough” Disney. I consider Identity Politics, SJW, and Politically Correctness a form of “evil”. Elon Musk, while not done on purpose, is a shining light in the darkness of evil that is destroying our culture.

                  Oh I am aware that occurred.  I knew about it before I posted this.  I believe Tim Cook lied.  I believe they are talking about banning it already and are waiting from a higher power whether to pull it.  And again it will happen in unison with Google and possibly Amazon.  If Musk keeps the platform a level playing field they will yank it.  However I think he knows this and is already making preparations.  The radical left/feds will not allow this to stand without some sort of retaliation.

                  I agree with all of that.  However I am not certain about the money part.  The people letting these folks in are well paid.  Look at how much the former Twitter CEO was making and how much the lawyer was making.  But you are right in that the company was NOT making anything.  All the money flowing in was from investment cash.  All the folks who benefitted from the propaganda machine.
