It would be interesting to have a foreign version of CRT training. Social Justice training except its focused on historically disadvantaged castes and then try to shoe-horn various American demographics into their closest caste analogues.BurtReynolds wrote:The further removed, the better.

Apple’s contact moderation policy for social media apps is notoriously strict. I read an interview with twitter’s content moderation lead yonks ago, way before musk entered the picture, where they described regular meetings where specific tweets would be brought in. “This person is using the N-word.

The person being referenced above no longer works there, and their position no longer exists. I’m not 100% sure Apple even has a contact for evaluating content moderation questions at Twitter, which itself is a requirement for any social media app.
Apple’s content moderation policies are super problematic, but they are also clearly and publicly stated. Deleting your content moderation team and then saying “Apple won’t tell me why they might throw me off the App Store“ is like smoking six cigarettes during your apartment manager’s walkthrough and then saying they won’t tell you why your lease was voided. Look at your lease, numb nuts.
But Elon knows this, if he’s not a moron, which makes the “won’t tell us why” purely performative. Not unlike this schtick:
In a perfect world these companies would pare their TOS down to what they can consistently enforce at not too much effort or expense. As there's no counterforce to make them at all consistent we get this.BurtReynolds wrote:Their policies seem anything but clear, unless "we'll refuse your app if we feel like it" is clear.
