Apple pausing advertising on X after antisemitic post promotion by Musk

Apple pausing advertising on X after antisemitic post promotion by Musk

An unnamed executive also spoke on Friday to Axios about the issue. \"The X system is not intentionally placing a brand actively next to this type of content, nor is a brand actively trying to support this type of content with an ad placement,\" X said to Axios on Friday. So far, X has not responded to the venue\'s specific questions about Apple\'s decision.AppleInsider was not able to confirm the Axios report on Friday afternoon with Apple. We also weren\'t able to find any Apple advertising on X after a brief survey of content on the site.Musk, Apple, and Tim Cook Musk\'s and Apple\'s relationship has been rocky since the Twitter buy. Following that purchase, Apple paused advertising to evaluate the relationship between the two companies, likely over concerns about moderation and other matters. In response, Musk questioned if Apple hated free speech in America. Ten minutes later, Musk issued a standalone tweet with an accusation. \"Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won\'t tell us why,\" he claimed. Apple never withdrew Twitter from the App Store. It\'s not clear if Musk was telling the truth about the issue, since he said after a visit to Apple Park that Apple had \"never considered\" removing Twitter from the App Store. Since the claims, and Musk\'s visit to Apple Park, the tone has changed from the X owner. Musk thanked Apple and Disney for continuing to be X\'s biggest advertisers at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in San Francisco on March 7, 2023. Apple has strong rules around app content, limiting defamatory and discriminatory content, as well as pornographic material. Apps with user-generated content, such as social media platforms, need to have filters for objectionable material, a way to report content, and an ability to block abusive users.
