I am told this morning that Apple and Google will remove Twitter from the App Store if it does not moderate and remove hate speech under @ElonMusk.
So what? Musk can make it available for download most anywhere he wants. Sure, there are a couple of extra steps if you're not using Play or Store, depending on your settings, but big deal.
I'm thinking this "hostage" crap that was pulled on Parler is no longer going to happen. You have Rumble guaranteeing service for these sites now, and I wouldn't be surprised if Musk makes an instant workaround if Apple and Google do this, to the detriment of them both. Big tech is no longer calling the shots, I think.
Related, I see that there are a ton of articles out now listing "all" the alternatives to twitter. Parler and Truth are not listed in the "all". Of all the sites they do list, the only one I've heard of is mastadon, and only because it has been in the news for the past few days listed as a "safe space".
