Apple has warned right-wing social media platform Parler to produce and implement a content moderation plan or risk its removal from the App Store, following incitement of violence that has spread across the platform in the wake of an insurrection attempts at the US Capitol.
Google has also suspended Parler from its Play Store “in light of this ongoing and urgent public safety threat.”
In an email to Parler executives, Apple wrote: "We have received numerous complaints regarding objectionable content in your Parler service, accusations that the Parler app was used to plan, coordinate, and facilitate the illegal activities" in Washington DC.
“The app also appears to continue to be used to plan and facilitate yet further illegal and dangerous activities," the email said.

Have you been in Parler? It's a full on racist/white supremacist circle-jerk.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

SN Greg Wright - I don't decide who's a terrorist, but the Parler users decide for themselves when they regularly plot violence and call for the deaths of their political opponents. Just take a quick look at the website I've linked and this will be clear.

James Anders - The irony of you saying that after a year of extremists like you calling for riots, condoning violence against police and small businesses, and looting on Twitter and Facebook is...
...amazing.
Go ahead and gloat though. For now, they're only silencing people you don't like. THey will come for you, too. Thousands of historical examples show this to be true.

SN Greg Wright - ....I'm not an extremist and I never condoned violence against anybody???????? Where'd you get that from?
In any case, your comment doesn't take away from the fact that Parler is filled with radicals who conspire and make unambiguous calls for violence. And if a private company like Google or Apple doesn't want to associate itself with those people, then that's their
right.
