Blame this on that dipsh*t Lin Wood.

He jumped on Parler and started blathering about executing the Vice President. Even in the good ol' days before cancel culture, this would've gotten anyone banned. He's trying to deliberately sabotage the platform.

Anyone still think this idiot is on our side?

It wasn’t just a Lin Wood insanity tweet, Apple demanded any and all material they deemed problematic be removed.

It’s beyond the pale.

Last night, I downloaded the IOS Parler app. Screw you Apple!

Apple would do better to remove facebook and twitter. That’s what ANTIFA uses to coordinate their attacks.

Trump needs to create his own Freedom App. Likely on the android platform which is open source. Google can ban his app from the play store but they can just download the app from his website instead.

Apple users can also just load his site through their web browesers but it would be a beautiful thing to crush Apple and get his users to buy Android phones to get his app.

He may need to relocate servers to Panama or another foreign country to protect himself from Amazon and other big data operators that might threaten his service.

It’s amazing the hoops he will have to go through but his supporters will follow him wherever he goes. He just has to lead the way.

Question:

Don’t some websites allow you to install their app directly from their site to a PC, Mac, iPhone or iPad?

If so, that’s what Parler needs to do.

Apple will collapse this year. The company is running off the fumes from its genius creator, Steve Jobs. Tim Cook is a joke.

Bye-bye.

Until the next iOS update, that is, rendering the app unusable.

And Freepers constantly celebrate Apple gadgets here...

Lin is merely one scapegoat

Apple lets all the leftard violence and threat posts stay

Same with Twatter, they let the ccp rave on how forced abortions help women, not a violation of their “policies”

APKs, yes. Anything iOS-based, no. Unless jailbroken. And jail-breaking tends to eff up phones.
