Is meta really worth the wait?
TL;DR: The head of Apple’s App Store, Phil Schiller, deleted his Twitter account over the weekend. Question: what happens to Twitter if Apple removes it from their App Store? https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/21/23471628/this-is-the-twitter-account-elon-musk-should-be-worried-most-about-losing
Twitter will die. Apple will face more antitrust scrutiny by regulators than ever before
This is a good point, removing stuff "because we felt like it" is a great way to get looked at for anticompetitive practices If a public cloud terminated services to a business for arbitrary reasons and kept doing this to multiple businesses, lawmakers would be all over it
It’ll be terms of service for promoting hate speech. They’ll point to Twitter themselves as precedent.
If they don’t keep the nazis and 4chan incels in check damn right it will be pulled from the app store.

They're owned by a 4chan incel now
Lol
I don’t think Apple would do that. I think the easy 30% commission on App Store transactions is too big to loose.
What happened to FamVille?
Twitter slaps together a PWA and nothing happens, if they don't already have one, and more businesses start paying more attention to PWAs so they are not at the mercy of App Store/Google Play Store anymore
Who? All overworked engineers?
Apple will be sued and Twitter will make a lot of money. Also this would be too petty.
Apple needs to choose it's battles wisely. It can only play "arbiter of truth/justice" so many times before those antitrusts gain steam. I doubt it bans Twitter. That'd be stupid.
Apple will be called a bully and will slowly see other developers make contingency plans outside of appstore Phil can delete his Twitter, WhatsApp, etc. But apple still has Twitter accounts. Stop doing conspiracy theories and get back to work.
