    They attempted to censor him, by removing part of his speech from the teleprompter. He got his phone out and read it from there instead.

    Apple has now gotten caught for doing this to Jon Stewart and now Robert De Niro in a month’s time. Not great.

    Kind of a bummer, AppleTV+ actually has really good content now, and this makes me not want to support it.

        I see few comments shitting on de Niro for being an anti vaxxer as if it holds a weight in this argument… read some of those comments too.

    I don’t want to give credit to Apple, but let’s not forget that De Niro is anti vax, among others bullshit he have spewed over the years

    alleges that multiple versions of the speech had been created, and that both Apple and the filmmakers were unaware that De Niro had not approved the final draft.

    What a lame excuse LOL that’s just another description for censorship by some clueless interns. And I’m sure they are going to come up with new, multiple versions of lame excuses during the next days.

    They should rather take responsibility for their malpractice! Lo and behold: the actor himself has no problem with taking responsibility for his own speech.

    Ad hominem attacks are lazy logical fallacies that show the utter stupidity of people.

    The fuck does this old fart’s vax position have to do with his allegation of Apple cutting out the Trump rant of his speech?

    Does anyone remember the days when there were a few people who didn’t feel like they needed to make a political statement every five minutes?
