Mark Cuban wants Apple to boot Twitter from its app store until Twitter finds a better way of removing "objectionable" tweets, images and videos from its platform.
The billionaire entrepreneur criticized Apple's app review policy in a series of tweets Thursday afternoon, and called on Apple to adhere to its own guidelines.Cuban didn't specify what objectionable content he was referring to, but social media has been increasingly criticized for enabling terror groups like ISIS to spread their propaganda and recruit members.
CNNMoney asked Cuban on Twitter if his concerns stemmed from ISIS-related accounts and posts, but he didn't respond.
Cuban's first tweet included a screenshot of Apple's App Store Review Guidelines -- specifically the policy on "Personal Attacks" and "Violence."
Part those policies state that "Apps that display user generated content must include a method for filtering objectionable material, a mechanism for users to flag offensive content, and the ability to block abusive users from the service."
Cuban followed up by giving an example of other apps that have found a way to manage questionable posts: "3) Instagram can prevent the scourge of naked breasts to keep their place in the app stores. I'm sure twitter can find solutions as well..." Instagram decided last year to restrict nudity.
