Censorship on the Internet is not very popular, but sometimes the situation goes so far that large companies simply have to intervene. He now found himself in a similar situation Apple, because he removed Infowars's podcasts from the Podcasts platform. Alex J is responsible for themones, who is known in the United States as a talk show host, filmmaker, and owner of Infowars and PrisonPlanet. He is a very controversial person, supports conspiracy theories, and often uses harsh words and insults in his opinions.

AppI ran out of patience and started watching his podcasts. And thenonec five out of a total of 6 podcasts that Infowars through Apple issues. Now talk shows are no longer searchable and do not even appear in the various charts of the most listened to. YouTube and Spotify have taken similar action before, but both companies only removed selected episodes.

Apple issued this statement on the matter: “Our company does not tolerate hate speech, and we have clear rules that creators and developers must follow to ensure a safe environment for all of our users. Podcasts that violate these rules are removed from our directory, making them unsearchable and unavailable for playback or download. People have different views on given situations, but everyone must respect those who do not share that view.”

Alex Jones is a very controversial figure in America:

However, with this removal Apple it just made it harder for users to add those podcasts to the app. It is still possible to search for them anywhere on the Internet and open Podcasts on the iPhone or iPad, select Edit in the Library tab, and then select the Add podcast using URL address option. However, the apple company will not do anything about it, but it has at least sent its opinion on the issue through this meeting. Similar interventions also occur in the case of Apple Newswhere the content is controlled directly by employeesancand society.
