BREAKING: Apple is currently threatening to ban Parler -- the free speech alternative to Twitter -- unless the service enacts draconian censorship policies demanded by left-wing Big Tech oligarchs, according to two sources familiar with Apple's threats.

> Do you know if they have ever done that?

No, but then I never saw a bunch of Republican Senators and Representatives stab the most popular sitting Republican President whose coattails the rode back into office in the back on the floor of Congress either ...

Maybe we should go back to newspapers and paper ballots...all this cyber crap has only supercharged the potential for totalitarian behavior, not to mention the complete lack of privacy

You wouldn’t be able to download the Parler app onto your iPhone, if you have one. You could still access Parler from your browser. But browser access for Parler, just like Twitter, is klunky on an iPhone.

Do you own Apple stock? If so, why?

I didn’t say you said that; that’s a red herring. Nevertheless, by putting the onus on Trump (by mentioning no one else, it sounds like Trump alone is meant), the implication is that the office he holds does possess decree power.

“OK, that means they’re banned. Apple users will have to access by using the web.”

So, you have no point other than you have an overactive imagination whereby you imagine conversations that didn’t happen. Okay, I agree with that.

Truth be told, Trump had four years to fix Big Tech censorship - and it was a big problem even before he was in office. Not something you put off until the last few weeks.
I did not imagine those words from post #16. Plain fact is Trump did not have the power to do that by himself; that is what his numerous calls for the repeal of Section 230 were about among other demands, which went on for far longer than a fortnight. The Congress should have done this when a GOP majority was in both houses; guess why they did not bother.

This is really disturbing.

It’s coming from many places in society. At the same time.

Like I sez, congrats on the ability to hallucinate up conversations! I’d consider it a superpower!

"That would be an antitrust violation."

And a quick payment to Biden's son Hunter would ensure that antitrust laws never get enforced in this matter.

There is absolutely no confirmation this is even remotely true - no one on financial pages has anything more that the report from unnamed sources.
