In defense of Apple, Google has its issues with this kind of censorship also. Newscat and I eek out a bit of beer money here using Google Ads. Also like all websites we are dependent upon Google Search PAGE RANK which decides where to put us on the search result page.
Google does not like words that have anything to do with any form of violence, it is a long long list of such words. Using only a few on a page will cause them to defeat ads and placement results. I don’t even want to use them here because it will read them in this one article and cause us a loss of beer money. And we can’t have that! The problem is that Google is a BOT which does not differentiate between promoting violence, non violence or even just reporting violence. So as I often do, call attention to the wrong of tying up unarmed people up and dragging them down a hallway to be put down like dogs, I am seen as a promoter of violence. Unfair but that’s life! So mostly here we don’t care, but it does have an impact on the entire Internet. Play it safe and sell stuff and you will be treated well!
