Apple Backtracks On InfoWars, Will Not Remove App From App Store

Emily Zanotti

Apple seems to have — at least partly — reversed its position on Infowars. Just days after the tech giant banned Infowars host Alex Jones from its iTunes podcast platform, it announced that it plans to leave the InfoWars app in its iTunes store in the interest of tolerance and diversity.

CNBC reports that Apple, which touched off a social media deluge over the weekend by banning Jones and four of his co-hosts, whom they claim violated iTunes’s guidelines, will not bow to critics and remove the Infowars app from the App Store because Apple “strongly supports” all points of view being represented on its sales platforms.
