Parler, the Free-speech alternative to Twitter, has been denied re-entry into Apple’s App Store after a recent review.
According to Bloomberg, Parler had made several internal changes before requesting review to Apple ...
However, Apple denied re-entry to their App Store due to “racist content” they allegedly found on Parler’s platform ...
So, according to Apple, their standard is that they won’t allow a platform where any of its users post anything “racist”? So, given the fact that Twitter, Parler’s “not racist” alternative, is currently on the App Store, I can only assume that I won’t be able to find ANY “racist” content on it.. right?
Let’s test.
After a couple quick searches and about 3 minutes I found the following:

Because of Apple opinions, I will no longer buy Apple products. Defund the Left and defund the economy.
Until Trump gets back in the White House I will only buy food and gas, and of course precious metals.
My wife’s iPhone is several years old. We didn’t buy it. Our kids bought it for her so she could facetime the grandkids all over the country. She uses it a lot.
I don’t do Apple products because the are too “proprietary”. Meanwhile, I just got Duo on my OnePlus N10 Nord and it’s just like facetime. My wife’s battery is about shot. We’re dumping the phone for an android (probably another N10) and she’s going to be using Duo from here on out.
I’ll be honest....I love my Iphones.
But after this stupid stunt.....almost time for me to buy a new cell phone.....NO TO APPLE!
Let them lose our business then see how darn brave they are.
What a choice consumers are left with: Apple or Google. Do you want to die by hanging or hanging? Keep in mind, Parler and Gab also aren’t in the Google Play Store, either.
I migrated back to Apple a couple years ago after leaving them for Samsung. I like Samsung phones but really do not like Google. While Apple’s privacy protections are imperfect, they’re exponentially better than Google’s. But now, homosexual Super Villain Tim Cook has decided he also wants to be the a Wizard behind the Curtain.
There’s that new Linux phone which uses laughably dated internals and is ridiculous expensive.
So you dump apple because its “too proprietary” and go to Google’s Android which tracks you everywhere even when you turn tracking off, while selling your data to advertisers who market their crap to you. Smart move. Too bad Apple doesn’t latch on to that business plan - they’d make a fortune.
I wonder if Torba is still coming out with a phone?
Remember, Parler & Gab are also banned from the Google Play Store.
And, not only did Google ban those apps, but I can’t find either app in the numerous APK repositories. But, both Gab and Parler offer APK alternatives if you want to load it yourself whereas I haven’t found anyway to install GAB or Parler without jailbreaking my iPhone.
BTW, I had Parler installed on my iPhone, but I had to reinstall iOS using iCloud and the Parler app was no longer available after that reinstall.
One of the many reasons I got rid of my fruity phone
Neither of these companies should be enjoying freedom to censor as private. It is not private when they can market personal data of multitudes to multitudes.
These people have got to stop thinking that the left is driven by the reasons that it states.
It’s not about racism, it’s about keeping the American voice stifled for China.
If he is, I hope he steps on it.
We need one ASAP.
I dunno. None of that stuff affects me. I also like to go into my Google account and see where I’ve been.
Thing is, I worked for Law Enforcement Relations (LER) for a major cell provider. If I don’t want to be tracked, I leave my phone at home, period. Apple OR Android. That’s all I’m gonna say about that.
Remember THIS Apple?
Who would have ever imagined that Non Conformist is the new Big Brother?
“What a choice consumers are left with: Apple or Google. Do you want to die by hanging or hanging? Keep in mind, Parler and Gab also aren’t in the Google Play Store, either.”
The difference is that you can still install the Parler app on Android phones without going through Google Play. It’s impossible to install anything on an IPhone that’s not approved by Apple.
