Apple Inc has threatened to remove the Parler social networking service from its App Store unless the company changes its content moderation policies, Parler Chief Executive John Matze told Reuters on Friday.
Parler is a social network where many supporters of President Donald Trump have migrated after being banned from services such as Twitter Inc. In a letter from Apple's App Store review team to Parler seen by Reuters, Apple cited instances of the service's being used to make plans to descend on Washington, D.C., with weapons after a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday.

Parler, Gab, Spreely, etc. having outages. Looks like massive DDOS attacks. The death throes of the mighty Balrog.

I don't thin Apple shareholders will be happy with this move. I have bought a lot of Apple products for my family. I will refuse to buy them now.

more censorship. these companies and their lefty enablers are really looking for trouble. Instead of letting people (including Trump btw) vent they are building an even bigger bonfire.

8:00 EST on Friday. I cannot get on Parler. Freedom of speech has been shut down. Fascism is now popular with the democrats. Fascism is a system of government led by a dictator who typically rules by forcefully and often violently suppressing opposition and criticism, controlling all industry and commerce, and promoting nationalism and often racism.

Tried to pull up Parler and can't do it. I'm waiting for the dems/tech asshats to become like "The Hunger Games". There will be a sound and hologram screen with the warning that this is "required" viewing. Let the liberal propaganda flow. What have we become? Trump was dangerous because he knew the Deep State was wide and deep and so many from both sides were involved. Lots of money and power to be had and they were not going to lose it. I am surprised that they didn't try to take him out if you know what I mean. Free speech is being attacked and we know they will not stop there. These next years are going to be a real shock to a lot of people. For God's sake America wake up!

We need to go after Amazon hard. Ban Amazon. Amazon depends on Apple, Google, Facebook and Twitter to drive customer Acqisitions. Stop buying from Amazon and let Amazon know how you feel

Seems to be back up. Maybe it's having trouble with 75+million people like me who just joined who want to leave FAKEbook and/or Twitter.

So they're editors now, eh? Time to ditch the iPhone for a Samsung perhaps?

You,leave apple and go to Samsung or anyone else and it’s google. There is no difference. Big tech will be able to manipulate the market this way until the laws are changed and they can be held accountable. The majority of the swamp, doesn’t want to change it, because they are all brothers in arms.

California big tech censorship, and we’re about to get president Harris, all the great leftist ideas that are destroying California are going national. Kinda weird that the first line in the song Californication is “ Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation”.

Time for Elon Musk to eat another industry. He could easily do it or partner with some smart company. He has his own networks, on the ground and in low earth orbit. His cars are connected. Of all the tech titans he seems the most independent thinker. His family had money in South Africa, but I'm guessing the brutal government that happened after the 1980s had some lessons about dictators. It's a possibility.

I've despised Apple products for decades, completely independent of their current extreme leftist policies.

I’ve been trying for 3 days to get the Parler app to work on my iPad, but it won’t let me sign in. The only way I can access Parler is to go to the website home page and sign in there. Hmmmm....
