This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Between this on Apple TV+ and Netflix cancelling Patriot Act with Hassan Minaj, it seems there is definitely a big issue with profit driven platforms worried about pissing off actual nations by literally just stating facts.
I hope Jon Stewart can do a deal with another platform and make this kind of content again. But I doubt any big names will want to after this.
More reason for universal standardized content access with universal type apps, anyoen can create content and distribute it to millions of people. These networks have always been about convenience, which they have a properietary tech on apparantly.
Did you just invent YouTube?
No, they invented html.
Fuck Apple, let the man speak.
Oh come on. They’re not preventing him from speaking, they’re choosing to stop putting million$ into a show with someone they no longer want to do business with (for whatever reason; details not clear).
If the show has legs, Stewart will certainly find a new host. Could be a nice catch for one of the other biggies.
Yeah they’re allowing him to speak about only what they deem as “appropriate”. Preventing him from speaking about china is not “letting him speak” as you put it. It also sounds like the reasons for not wanting to do business is pretty clear. Stewart wants to talk about things that apple feels might show them in some not great light, so they can’t have any of that.
He can and will say whatever he wants!
Apple just doesn’t want to fund the show.
Two different things.
