Twitter, which turned into a completely different platform after the acquisition of Elon Musk, began to lose important accounts. Phil Schiller, Apple’s event and App Store manager, has quietly shut down his Twitter account. It’s unclear what’s going on between Apple and Twitter for now.
Apple executive shuts down Twitter account
According to the report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Twitter account of Phil Schiller, a very important name at Apple, is no longer available. The account, which has more than 200 thousand followers, was broadcasting Apple’s events and commercials. Schiller was also tweeting about major changes to the App Store.
The account created in November 2008 was actually active for 14 years. Although we do not think that it is managed by Phil Schiller, it is possible to say that the decision to close the account was made by Schiller. The Apple executive prefers to remain silent on the matter.
The reason Schiller left Twitter may be Elon Musk’s aggressive behavior on the platform. Pushing Twitter employees to work under difficult conditions, Musk also announced that the account of former President Trump will be opened.
The first comment about Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter came from Apple CEO Tim Cook. He expressed hope that Twitter will maintain its moderation standard and “continue to be Twitter” with the new administration.
Talking about the new Twitter policy, Musk said, “Freedom of expression will be our top priority. However, our new policy does not cover freedom of access. We will not tolerate any negative/hateful expressions.” made statements. However, many users think that these discourses are open to discussion.
