minus-squarePoggervania@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 year agoHonestly, it’s not even about the show - it’s the fact that Apple, more or less, is basically censoring stuff that badmouths China. If Apple can do it to somebody like Jon Stewart, then what other companies are willing to do this - or even already have done?
minus-squareBuelldozer@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-21 year agoYoutube has a well established history of doing it. Pre-Elon Twitter did it quite a bit and X (Elon Twitter) does even more of it. Western Media has been bent and twisted for years by Pro-China propaganda and Pro-China censorship.
