From the current bread “over there”.

Apple Threatened to Kick Parler Off App Store Unless They
Banned “Certain” Individuals

We have a breaking news bombshell to share with you
regarding the ongoing attempts by Big Tech to silence
Conservatives.

Apple threatened to kick Parler off its App Store if the
social media website did not ban content they deemed
inappropriate.

Parler, an alternative to Twitter, has become extremely
popular among conservatives. By the way, I have already made
the jump to Parler and you can follow me by clicking here.

Parler founder John Matze told me on Starnes Country, that
last week they received a notice on their account from
Apple.

Matze said they were told they had to change their community
guidelines so they reflected Apple’s. They were also told to
remove certain kinds of individuals.

Matze said Apple did not say which kinds of individuals
should be banned. However, Parler currently hosts accounts
by Laura Loomer and Alex Jones.

“They said if we don’t change our community guidelines to
match what they’d like – they were going to remove us from
the app store,” he said. “I was pretty upset by this.”

Matze said Parler flat-out refused to comply with Apple’s
demands and now they are unable to push updates to their
app.

Later that evening Matze shared the contents of the
conversation with a number of congressional lawmakers.

Within 48 hours of that dinner meeting, the notice was
removed from the account.

“I think it’s political and I think it’s bigoted,” he told
me. “They don’t want conservatives communicating freely on a
platform with people they like.”

“Apple, Google, Facebook — all these companies don’t want
them to exist,” he said. “They want to use it to control
politics,” Matze said.
