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.
Time to ditch your iPhone if so.

And get an Android phone that also bans apps while it tracks your every movement to sell you ads.
Yep. It’ll be through written newsletters and in person meetings where news will have to be found out. But yeah this is just like China and USSR
There is nowhere to turn, other than to God.
This has come up before, but the techies on FR could really help if there is some bulletproof solution that the rest of us could use to maintain communications. Otherwise, FR may just vanish and we will all be in the dark.
What is jail break?
my bad, ‘jailbreak’ one word
Many smartphone, tablet, and game console makers include a layer of Digital Rights Management (DRM) software on their products. This DRM exists either to limit the software you can run on it, or is there for security reasons. Jailbreaking is the process of hacking these devices to bypass DRM restrictions, allowing you to run “unauthorized” software and to make other tweaks to your operating system.
More difficult, as FR is not dependent on app stores for distribution. And it appears to my eyes to be portable to pretty much any hosting service.
Parler appears to be down right now
From a previous poster: "Apple has given Parler a 24 hour ultimatum to implement a moderation plan or it’s getting kicked from the app store."
So it looks like they haven't implemented the policy just yet.
If Parler does that, then what’s the point.
It’s a Kill Shot.
Maybe you misread the post? It’s Apple implementing the policy denying access via an app, not Parler.
Is that like being unconstitoooshunal.
>>That would be an antitrust violation.
And who would prosecute them?
No, but they own the Platform Parler is using.
No Apple in this house.
No, but the app is distributed on the Apple store. So if you own an iPhone ...
All they are doing is driving people to platforms like 4chan.
The last thing they want is to create more 4chan types. They are...very effective.
This is what they are in for:

Apple owns the apple app store and since they don’t alow sideloadong of apps and destroyed Flash, you are at their mercy.
