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.
It is starting. Stay safe every one!
I dont have apple, and never will, but sir you are correct on the basic tech savey of us old schoolers.
BTW, I have a flip phone. I will never have a smart phone and when they quit making flip phones, I will never have another cell phone.
Swamp attacks !
These idiots are going to learn fast they can’t really sensor in this world anymore - it’s ineffective.
Is Wayne too many smart kids that like freedom too. And don’t like BIG BROTHER GOOGLE SWAMP INC
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.”

BULL CRAP! I just went to the App Store and there’s ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM getting the Parler App.
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.
You lie

YES I got this about an hour ago before it was up on FR.
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.
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 just heard Dan Bongino say the same thing.
Just do it apple, don’t threaten...
Show everyone your communist china true self...
Watch people drop apple like a rock.
This is really disturbing.
It’s coming from many places in society. At the same time.
“Plain fact is Trump did not have the power to do that by himself”

Like I sez, congrats on the ability to hallucinate up conversations! I’d consider it a superpower!
And a quick payment to Biden's son Hunter would ensure that antitrust laws never get enforced in this matter.

Apple - joining the treason.
What a surprise there ....

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