Google has removed Parler, a social media app popular with Trump supporters, from the Google Play Store, making it much harder for Android users to download and access the app.
Google said in a statement that its requires social media apps to have content moderation policies that remove posts that incite violence, and that posts on Parler were encouraging further violence after the U.S. Capitol riot earlier this week.
The removal of the app comes as the violence at the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters on Wednesday that left five dead has renewed calls for social media and technology companies to more closely moderate their platforms, especially when it comes to calls to incite violence.
Twitter permanently banned President Donald Trump’s personal account on Friday because it felt that Trump’s most recent tweets were inciting violence, while Facebook prevented Trump from posting through the inauguration later this month.

Gee, what if the social media apps only moderate certain users?
Fakebook moderates only conservatives.
F**k them.
if you have an android there are other ways to get apps on your phone other than Google Play store.
Funny how the Left was for the principal of free speech while it benefitted them but once they think they’re in power free speech is only a guarantee with respect to the government and private companies can do whatever they want, huh?
Actions such as these were the goals the moment the excuse for 2016 was Russian Bots on Social Media.
You can still get the App and both Google and Apple are betting you are too lazy to do it.
All you have to do is go to Parlor on your browser and add it to your home screen. That is it and you have the App.
Boom!
what is this, the 100th thread about this?
SIMPLE: download the app direct from the site OR the browser.
Scroogle play is a scam, and just a “collection” of apps from where to download..AND NOT the de facto app site as they claim to be.
Everyone clear on that?
But that’s not the point because then they’ll simply block the link then who knows what else. I deleted FB and Twitter and need to find other option because this crap is getting real. Get a good Baifung radio and a group of people you can trust.
That’s not the point. You think these fascists will simply stop there? You don’t think they’ll block links? Sites? We all know how to side load and that’s not the point.
Some of us have been saying since the 1980s that the media are some of the worst enemies of our Republic. I still say that we cannot save ourselves while they are allowed to wreak harm unencumbered.
This is what I’m talking about...they won’t stop
Amazon is also threatening to remove it from AWS, which will kill Parler altogether until they find a new hosting service.
“You think these fascists will simply stop there?”
So effing what? so your point is to give up and cry for the next few years?
Where were you hypocrites when Portland and a dozen other cities were on fire? I dropped everything Google months ago. I use DuckDuckGo for searches, as they do not track or sell your search activity like Google does. Also, if you’re using Google mail, read their use agreement. They have the right to sell your emails if they choose to do so.
Question: Do they need apple and Google? I don’t need it on my iPhone.
introduce a bill confiscating all billionaires sets. They’re democrats.
that’s what I hate about some Freepers. They talk big when everything’s fine but start to rattle like a baby toy when things dont go their way.
I saw that same crap when obamatard “won” in 2008 and freepers were bitching and crying like it was the end of the world..pathetic.
And underneath all of this is hardware, now all made in China.
And China operates in such a way that all “corporations” ultimately report to the Government. All hardware supports government controls and access.
The dummies aren’t even thinking about this “election” and its implications on the spread of China “5G” and the takeover of world information and communication access.
Just swallow the damned Blue Pill, everyone!
Moron. My point is they’re not going to stop and we need to have options and a way around things. I’m trying to find answers you’re being a idiot.
Based on the tone “idiot”, you gave up like a Frenchman in a thunderstorm crying over blocked sites. Other freepers agreed on the thread too. You’re pathetic. Start crying..
