Getting deplatformed from Apple. “Your account has been permanently disabled. There is nothing else you can do, there is no escalation path.”

that’s insane and I hope he gets his account restored somehow.

He did.

Out of other obvious options, I decided to email Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, knowing he occasionally responded to customers’ emails. I also forwarded my note to my Apple sales rep for Quartz—who I’d been keeping informed during this process—to see if there was any way he could route it internally. I never thought I would have to call on a professional relationship in this way.

I never got a personal response from Cook, but it seems my letter did spurn action: I’m happy to say my account was re-enabled soon after.
