I think Apple is completely in the right here. They are enforcing a policy and if people don’t like that they don’t have to find podcasts through iTunes.

Luckily podcasts are designed to be decentralized, so even if Apple gets too trigger-happy with banning certain podcasts, that won’t affect anyone’s ability to still subscribe to those podcasts.

I think Apple is completely in the wrong here. They are unnecessarily censoring. They should not censor, they must not censor. If this crook called Alex engaged in nonsense and hate-speech it should be the state's obligation to sue him.
Apple never pretended to have a curatorially-neutral stance in their ecosystem [0], and personally I’d prefer a private company burying content VS government criminalizing it any day of the week.

Wow, being pro censorship is mainstream now?
Sadly there's a very popular group of people pushing for censorship in their partisan political battles online.
I know, right?!
