Apple’s App Store Double Standard | Tech News
Description
Apple briefly pulled Telegram from the App Store after finding child sexual abuse material — but reinstated it once fixes were made. Meanwhile, X (Twitter) remains on the store despite rampant nonconsensual deepfakes, including those sexualizing minors. Apple reportedly asked X for a moderation plan, but no action was taken. The stark contrast raises questions about fairness: Telegram’s founder faces legal charges abroad, yet one violation led to removal — while X, with Elon Musk’s influence, gets a pass. Experts suggest political clout may outweigh content violations in Apple’s enforcement decisions, though the company won’t comment on the discrepancy.
