On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” White House NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby responded to Apple limiting the AirDrop file-sharing feature in China by stating that the White House isn’t “in the business of telling private companies how to execute their initiatives.” And the situation with Apple is different from the circumstances with Twitter that the White House has promised to watch.
Kirby stated, “Look, in general, and we’ve been clear about this all around the world, we want individual citizens, no matter what government they live under, to be able to communicate freely and openly, transparently and reliably.

To paraphrase Kirby, "The difference is that our action toward Twitter is to censor speech in the US, and our in-action toward Apple is to censor speech China."

I would be nice if we were able to express our onions openly within this country. We are being cancelled and condemned if we don't buy the left's drivel.

It's a statement which, as usual, is completely opposite of the truth. They say the "want individual citizens, no matter what government they live under, to be able to communicate freely and openly, transparently and reliably" and yet, they work as furiously as they can in every possible way, legal and illegal to make certain that anyone with ideas and information which oppose their evil, totalitarian, communist, globalist plans to take away our freedoms is absolutely blocked from any sort of "speech" in the public sphere.
ONLY their propaganda is permitted, and NOTHING that opposes it, and supports real freedom is acceptable. They are horrified that free speech is breaking out on Twitter, and are desperate to suppress that free speech as much as they can.

The communists in the White House are disgusting blights on our nation. The sooner they are gone, the better off we will be.

"Hypocracy" simply isn't a word found in the leftist dictionary.

Reminds me of the Facebook meme:
It's not fascism when WE do it.

Um, what? FTA: White House isn’t “in the business of telling private companies how to execute their initiatives.”
Apple isn't private. So what does this mean, FTA:"Apple’s a private company, Martha, they have to make decisions and they have to speak for those decisions"? The goof ball level of intelligence has exploded in this White House.

WH supports Apple's lead in changing US foreign policy. Looks like the price paid to buy Diaper Joe is paying off for the ChiComs.

Biden admin only operates to further totalitarianism. At least the Chinese are honest about their totalitarian nature. Biden and his deep state think they can pull the wool over our eyes.

when are those who are below any level of common sense going to realize that this federal government is biased in favor of Communist governments and Communist causes and that Communism is and always has been our most deadly enemy, maybe not via military but certainly economic matters

Ironic - Apple is a publicly-traded company; Twitter is now fully private.

China owns the Biden family. One false move and Hunter does jail time.
