EXCERPT:

DEPILLIS: “Yeah. Well, in America we have this policy where we allow tech platforms to make their own rules as to what content they will allow. And the thing with podcasts is that it's a little bit different and that like Apple can say, we just list podcasts. We essentially run a directory. We don’t host them. So that content is actually housed somewhere else but we allow people to access it through our platform. So there’s a little bit of a dodge that they do there. But they do have terms of service that says, here is what we will and won’t allow. It’s just very, very loose. And so a company like YouTube, which is Google, or Twitter has actually established proactive policies on — in terms of election misinformation which Apple just simply doesn’t do at all.”
