Apple removes Parler from App Store in wake of U.S. Capitol riot
CNBC ^

Posted on 01/09/2021 5:02:18 PM PST by janetjanet998

Apple removed Parler, an app popular with Trump supporters, from its iPhone App Store on Saturday.

Apple said that posts on the pro-Trump social network related to the U.S. Capitol riot last week included calls for violence, which violates Apple’s rules against objectionable content.

“We have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the App Store, but there is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity,” an Apple representative said in a statement. “Parler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to people’s safety. We have suspended Parler from the App Store until they resolve these issues.”

we have totalitarianism being forced down our throats by these large, powerful corporations ... just as happened in Nazi Germany and fascist Italy

Just go to Parler.com via the web browser.

Mine Parler app hasn’t been removed — yet.

This is clearly a conspiracy to violate federal antitrust laws, which is a CRIME.

They must be punished.

Amazon is going to cut off Parler’s servers.

It’s a criminal conspiracy

Using slaves for labor...fine.

Breaking a window...not okay.

Apple uses child labor on its products - so it’s cool. Keep lecturing us.

Why would anybody want an Apple phone? They’re way overpriced, and most of us don’t need - or even use - all the stuff on them.
