According to Elon Musk, Apple is considering banning Twitter from its App Store. I discuss how tragically ironic that would be. After all, Apple is the brand who once stood up to Big Brother in what is regarded to be the greatest commercial of all time,“1984”, (by my former agency, TBWA/Chiat/Day). Yet now it seems Apple has, indeed, become Big Brother. Today, the world’s biggest company suppresses expression at home - and abroad - on behalf entities like the Chinese Communist Party. What forces are at work that would compel the company - that once told the world to “Think Different” - to become a brand that stands against free speech? And why do the woke seem to desire and even enjoy censorship? **And don’t miss my new manifesto for Apple: “Think Similar” which is at the very end (skip to it if you must).
