Apple CEO Tim Cook defended removing Parler from his company’s App Store — saying he doesn’t see an “intersection” between the right to freedom of speech and the ability to provoke violence.
Apple and Google booted the conservative-leaning social media site’s app and Amazon –Web Services dropped Parler from its servers — following the violent riots at the US Capitol on Jan. 6 that led to the deaths of five people, including a cop
“We looked at the incitement to violence that was on there. And we don’t consider that free speech and incitement to violence has an intersection,” Cook told host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”
There is no defense in suppression of speech...

Tim Cook is not on the Supreme Court and is certainly not an authority on what does or does not qualify as ‘freedom of speech’. He would get more respect if he admitted that he is a liberal with an agenda. BLM and Antifa violence is tolerated and even encouraged. This is not a case of soiled underwear over unexpectedly encountering angry conservatives. This is a blatant attempt to silence anyone they don’t agree with. Our Congress and Supreme Court have never looked more corrupt and incompetent than they do right now.

Tim, how can you pay yourself so much money, while your Chinese slaves make so little? Those who abuse power will pay for it.

It doesn't get any clearer than this EXPLICIT TYRANNY.
History is FILLED with such tyrants who ALWAYS know better than us PROLES.
Imagine if we were actually PERMITTED to think for ourselves.
With Big Tech's mammoth power, that won't be allowed, and don't count of the new communist leadership to curtail them.
Use and Support such Tech tyranny AT YOUR PERIL ...
One day they WILL come for YOU.

Nonsense. Facebook and Twitter invoke violence more than Parler, yet their apps are allowed on the Apple App Store.

Aw, sweet! Chris and Charlie sitting in the tree K-i-s-s-i-n-g! First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes baby in a surrogate's carriage, sucking his thumb, filling his pants, doing the hula, hula dance!

Don't just stop buying, DIVESTING is good. There are better places to put your money. All these companies think they own us, but really the ones they own are the top politicians and their minions.

And what is Cook's logic for using slave labor in China to make his products?

the reason that my husband and I bought Apple was because of privacy. As I see it, Apple crossed the line with censorship. Apple is now dead to me. I will purchase other products.

He's always been pretty gay and certainly has done his best to make Apple that way.

Appears to be a modified limited hangout. What he really said is that they might be coming back on the Apple Store. Likely antitrust, restraint of trade, and first amendment federal (and international) legal action focuses the mind.
