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.
Not surprising. May have to use a browser and even then they will need a supportive hosting service.
Does this mean everyone has to jailbreak their i phones?
So many were warned, but instead chose to believe what’s right would win out. The left is going to stifle most all avenues for conservatives and Trump to continue to speak out.
Only the beginning. The boot will come down hard. At least it’s not the government!
Does Apple own Parler?
In 1776 they didn’t have Twitter or Facebook.
Does Apple own Parler?

no but a lot of website traffic these days are from apps
of course you could still use the page with a browser
but this is what happened to Gab
How long until they decide The FR is to be banned?
no, but if it is banned from apple, you will not be able to use that app on any iphones unless you jail break.
This is what a communist takeover looks like. They must have complete control of the media. Soon anyone who disseminates unapproved news will be arrested or disappeared.
No but they own the App Store
That would be an antitrust violation.
Need a roadmap to navigate Parler, Gab, Rumble.
Where are the sites and links worth reading.

Someone please explain this to me. Apple is not my service provider. How can they prevent me from going to whatever sites I please? Would a VPN stop this?

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.
These web sites have to start suing these big tech companies. They have NO Right discriminating with thoughts they don’t like any more than the telephone company can do to restrict what you say or whom your speaking to. Its none of their damned business.
Start suing now.

I believe this is for the Iphone - it’s the app, not a website. But yeah, Apple can also block access to websites.
You’ll have to ask Apple people about the details - I use a real PC.
