“Mark Cuban wants Apple to boot Twitter from its app store until Twitter finds a better way of removing ‘objectionable’ tweets, images and videos from its platform,” CNN reports.
“The billionaire entrepreneur criticized Apple’s app review policy in a series of tweets Thursday afternoon, and called on Apple to adhere to its own guidelines,” CNN reports. “‘1) So how come Apple hasn’t removed twitter from their app store for violating the UGC & Personal Attack terms?’ he tweeted. ‘2) remove twitter from the app store for a couple days and they will solve any and all objectionable UGC content issues immediately.’ (UGC stands for user generated content.)”
CNN reports, “Cuban didn’t specify what objectionable content he was referring to, but social media has been increasingly criticized for enabling terror groups like ISIS to spread their propaganda and recruit members.”

Mark Cuban can go fuck himself. Should I tweet that?
-jcr
Tweet away!
America is the land of free speech.
Mark Cuban is a turd.
You do realize that more than just Americans use Twitter, right?
Yes, you use Twitter; Turn yourself in, you terrorist suspect!
But Apple is a U.S. corporation and Cuban is attempting to incite Apple into doing something stupid.
Personally, I would like to see Mark Cuban banned, but that isn’t going to happen.
So, Cuban saying Apple should apply their own stated standards to Twitter is “stupid”. That would describe you.
SO KENT?
What DO you DO!?
“For a living” ???
Troll Around? and make yourself useless on the internet?
Provide degree please.. & from what university & or tech school? The internet is a small town 😉
He yells out his window telling kids to get off his lawn! 😉
I am paid to identify mentally incompetent individuals so the DNC can target them for their get out the vote drives. I see your name on the list.
Idiotkentsaywhat?
JesterMel
Your name is on the cranial defect list near the top. You are our Poster Boy for 2016.
That means that I must be doing something right. Anyone who is flagged as an adversary by the likes of you and your ilk must have something positive going for them.
They make poultices for social diseases like you to draw the poison out.
Cuban saying just about anything is pretty much stupid, Kent. Of course, that applies to you, as well.
Just because the guy has $B does not mean that his words are somehow more profound or meaningful than anyone else’s opinion. The less that I see of Cuban, the better. Same goes for you, Kent. Now make yourself scarce for the holidays!
Why the hate of for kent, KingMel? Yes, he is frequently a jerk. But he’s an amateur on this page, compared to the frothing, spittle-flecked ranting of the infantile ijah420.
Actually I am 100% accurate. KingMel made a comment worthy of a Hitlerian Nazi.
I do not “hate” kent. While he is certainly irritating, a person has to go a lot farther than that to warrant hating. I just said that he was stupid and that I would rather he go somewhere else other than this forum.
Kent’s next post certainly demonstrates that he is off the deep end and incapable of rational discourse…”Hitlerian Nazi”?? Not only is that an extreme and wholly inaccurate statement, but what frikking other kind of Nazi is there??
And kent, no one is 100% accurate, least of all someone who claims to be.
Not anymore! Only free speech these days if you are politically correct! God forbid if you hurt someones feelings!
I wonder, can the love of free speech also include being respectful of not only a person’s right to speak but also include being respectful of that person?
Just because you may have the right to be rude to someone doesn’t mean that you must be rude to someone. Civility and responsibility for your statements under the umbrella of free speech can make the world a better place. These values are not mutually exclusive.
Now that makes an incredible amount of sense, RealityCheck! Bravo!!
We should all attempt to live by the sentiments that you expressed (and I include myself). It is far too easy to spout vitriol on the internet given the distance and relative anonymity to the person or group you are attacking.
Thanks for your support. It seems that there are a few on the site that disagree with these sentiments and values though. Look at the down voting we are getting.
Civility is considered a virtue in polite society. The Internet is not polite society. Rather, it is a frontier: a new area where laws and societal norms are incompletely formed, and what norms there be are contemptuously flouted by fresh arrivals emboldened to express themselves unshackled by convention.
Thus, we ought to expect MDN to be like Tombstone, Arizona in 1880. Picket fences and churches, decent people on the whole, but now and again ruffians ride into town and raise hell. MDN is more interested in their investments than in playing sheriff. It’s only when company business is threatened that a U.S. marshal shows up.
Why don’t you go outside MARK!!!… and go PLAY… HIDE & Go Fck YOURSELF!!!! you narcissist CUE BALL fck. You are the problematic FESTERING BOIL on America’s skin.

And you are lower than whale dung based on your gas station rest room presentation skills. If you work hard you might one day become a low level human.

WTF do you DO! Kent???? live in your mother’s basement?
Earth would thrive without your petri dish existence.
So much hatred; so little ability to use the English language.
You are how old?
He uses the Queen’s English extremely well, I think, when you adjust for the vernacular and recall the argot ingeniously translated to print by literary giants like Steinbeck, Twain, and Faulkner. Intense emotions cry out for more than technically correct, but dead, declarative sentences to represent them,
Strange, Cuban doesn’t call for Walmart or Target to remove Rick Ross’s new album, Black Market with a song – Free Enterprise calling for Donald Trump’s assassination.
Cuban is just another hypocritical a’hole.
“Objectionable” sounds more like SJW newspeak. I don’t think it has to do with terrorists, rather with censoring non-progressives who trigger Ivy League infants.
Using SJW as a negative is the ultimate newspeak.
This is the slippery slope of banning anything in the first place.
Twitter is like sugar for the mind. People love it, but this doesn’t make it healthy. Twitter is contributing greatly to the contined dumbing down of America. Or maybe it’s the dumbing down of America that makes a stupid pasttime like tweeting so attractive. Either way, the world would be a better place if fewer people spent their precious time free-associating about absolutely nothing.
That may be true, but that is not a valid basis on which to ban the app.
Does he want them to ban all web browsers and net access as well?
Quit thinking… it may hurt Cuban’s brain.
Twitter invented all objectionable UGC, in cuban’s mind anyway.
Oh yeah, censorship will make Apple’s platform more popular. Apple’s doing a helluva job walking a fine line curating apps to keep personal information as safe as possible while not limiting choice. Keep up the good work, mothership.
He’s just pissed over all the tweets calling him a dick.
You can’t censor your way out of bad behavior. In my opinion the internet is a playground for the id. Too many people shut down the super-ego, and lose all rational mediation. Mass murder, cyber bullies, trolls…it’s all part of the same phenomena.
I wonder how many ‘objectionable’ tweets, images and videos he got today after posting that lol.
lol
Obviously people let their id off the leash on the internet, because they can. It’s so new the species hasn’t had enough time to properly adapt to social media. Instead it functions as a kind of disease, one that facilitates economic and social intercourse but has unpleasant, uncontrolled side effects.
Go back five generations, and people were pilloried for the type of behaviour rampant on the internet today. Go back fifteen, and they were exiled or killed.
Yeah, civilisation. It takes a backward turn every now and then.
Cuban, just buy Facebook and do what you want.
So Mark Cuban TWEETS about removing tweeter from the App Store. Isn’t it ironic?

Cuban: Move to Cuba.
He just wants CyberDust to be the only chat platform.
The obvious question is what is Mark Cuban’s twitter handle.
@mcuban
You’re welcome to share the love.
I knew Twitter would be a useless waste of time the minute I saw stupid blue tweetie birds on the home page of every corporation and the nightly news started reporting on rumors started from Twitter. Twitter gives birds a bad name, they should have just called it Rumor Mill.
Isn’t there a little irony in him using Twitter to express these views?
There is so much anger in this world. [sigh]
Did Mark Cuban tweet that?
If so, I find it objectionable.
Mark Cuban thinks he is above everybody else. Typical superiority complex. He is the one that should be banned.
Jee-suss!!!! Most of the posts are just frothing Cuban-hatred, not about the idea. Get over it.
Pretend the it was written by some guy called Wylmer Peaknuckle. What do you think of the IDEA? Personally, I think social media providers should absolutely do much more to curb terrorist recruitment, stalking and bullying.
Free speech means it’s not illegal to say what you think (and even that has limits). It does NOT mean that any company or person has to provide you a venue.
Using Cuban’s logic, Apple should stop providing Safari because you can use it to get to Facebook and there’s a lot of abuse, trolling and bullying that happens there.
