Starts about 4m in. https://www.youtube.com/... Mastodon: Oliver Reichenstein / @reichenstein@mastodon.social : And in his typical by-the-way manner Jon Stewart tells Lina Kahn that Apple told him that he wasn't allowed to invite Lina Kahn on his previous show on AppleTV, cover China or talk about AI. — https://youtu.be/... X: @snazzylabs : Wow. Jon Stewart said Apple didn't let him have FTC chair Lina Khan on his podcast—nor did they let him do a segment on AI. Many presumed his Apple TV+ show was cancelled solely due to poor ratings (a factor, sure), but it clearly isn't all on Stewart. https://www.youtube.com/... @evan_greer : This is bonkers. Apple deserves so much more scrutiny than they get. They truly are one of the most authoritarian and dangerous tech monopolies ... they just have really good PR ppl Matt Stoller / @matthewstoller : Apple censored their own regulator Lina Khan. https://www.axios.com/... [image] @paterfamilias : It was amicable. Jon wanted a friendly chat about antitrust and China. Apple was looking more for a “firefighter rescues kitten from tree using Apple Vision Pro” storyline. You know, creative differences. Lee Hepner / @leehepner : That fleeting moment where Chair Khan looks into the camera and into the eyes of every single Apple executive and board member at once. [image] Charles Arthur / @charlesarthur : Shocking that Apple would use its monopoly power in TV streaming oh no wait Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald : Stewart says when he had his show on Apple, they prohibited him from interviewing Khan or highlighting the dangers of monopoly abuse in AI and tech.👇 I don't know why people — especially those like him who don't need the money — swallow such limits: https://twitter.com/... Elizabeth Warren / @senwarren : When corporate monopolies like @Apple abuse their dominance to muzzle critics, they endanger our democracy as well as our economy. We need robust antitrust enforcement and stronger laws to hold Big Tech accountable. Lina Khan / @linakhanftc : Thanks to @jonstewart for having me on to talk about @FTC's work to lower the cost of asthma inhalers, the importance of holding corporate executives accountable for lawbreaking, and how monopolies can use their power to bully, coerce, and censor speech. @econliberties : 🚨NEW: Apple didn't allow @jonstewart to interview @linakhanFTC or discuss certain topics when his show was on AppleTV+ A clear example of concerns @JusticeATR highlighted in its antitrust suit. Apple can use its power to exercise control over content it doesn't approve of. [video] Meredith Whittaker / @mer__edith : Speaking of monopoly power and platform control of speech Florian Mueller / @florian4gamers : I actually understand both sides here. I can see why some believe Apple shouldn't have discouraged an interview with Lina Khan on such a podcast (and who are concerned about Apple's market power). But it's also a fact that Lina Khan antagonizes Big Tech, which provoked this. Zack Sharf / @zsharf : Jon Stewart says Apple “wouldn't let us do” a segment on the perils of AI and “asked us not” to interview FTC chair and “literally” said: “Please don't talk to her.” “Why are they so afraid to even have these conversations out in the public sphere?” https://variety.com/... @moreperfectus : Jon Stewart reveals that Apple wouldn't let him interview FTC Chair Lina Khan. “They literally said, please don't talk to her.” [video] Simonetta Vezzoso / @wavesblog : “Mr. Stewart told members of his staff on Thursday that potential show topics related to China and artificial intelligence [cough, see recent trip to China] were causing concern among Apple executives, a person with knowledge of the meeting said” https://www.nytimes.com/... Louis Anslow / @louisanslow : A good way to avoid monopoly power: - Don't dismiss and laugh at new technologies that have clearly gone past ‘fad’ stage - Don't take new technologies so seriously you freak out and over regulate them Ben Remaly / @benremaly : Stewart: “I wanted to have you want to podcast and Apple asked us not to do it... Why are they so afraid to even have these conversations out in the public sphere?” [image] Jason Kint / @jason_kint : FTC Chair Lina Khan on Daily Show ...after the break. All tech monopoly proxies on standby. @thedailyshow : TONIGHT: @FTC Chair @LinaKhanFTC sits down with @jonstewart! [image] Luther Lowe / @lutherlowe : DOJ's Apple complaint page 55, para 138: “Apple's conduct extends beyond just monopoly profits & even affects the flow of speech. For example, Apple is rapidly expanding its role as a TV and movie producer & had exercised that role to control content.” https://www.justice.gov/... Nick Field / @nick_field90 : “I gotta tell you, I wanted to have you on a podcast. And Apple asked us not to do it. They literally said 'Please don't talk to her'.” - Jon Stewart and FTC Chair Lina Khan https://www.youtube.com/... Carly Evans / @carlyshandle : Listen, I know it was a throw away thing, but Jon Stewart sharing that Apple asked him not to have the FTC chair on his podcast or do segment on AI has me very 👀 Ashley M. Gjøvik / @ashleygjovik : This sounds familiar. Jason Kint / @jason_kint : I think Jon Stewart broke news just now as he shared Apple asked - or prevented - him not to have FTC Chair Lina Khan on his podcast. This says a lot about risks in gatekeepers leveraging market power. Jason Kint / @jason_kint : If you're a creator, eyes wide open that Apple may censor you if it doesn't like your content. Whitney Merrill / @wbm312 : Wow wow wow Luther Lowe / @lutherlowe : Just watched this interview and Jon Stewart revealed he was prohibited from interviewing Lina Khan when he was working for Apple + generally described their heavy-handedness in censoring his programming. 🚨 Douglas Farrar / @douglaslfarrar : “I wanted to have you on a podcast and Apple asked us not to do it. They literally said 'please don't talk her' ... they wouldn't even let us do that dumb thing we did in the first act on AI” @jonstewart Full interview with FTC Chair Khan linked here 📺 https://www.youtube.com/...
