Apple suspends Parler social network from its App Store

[Peace Piper]

(Reuters) - Apple Inc has suspended Parler from the App Store, saying the social networking service had not taken adequate measures to prevent the spread of posts inciting violence.

Apple had given the service 24 hours to submit a detailed moderation plan, pointing to participants using the service to coordinate Wednesday's siege of the U.S. Capitol.

"We have suspended Parler from the App Store until they resolve these issues," the iPhone maker said in a statement.

I've told people for years not to use Google or Apple products. Not a lot of people listened, but hopefully they will now!

Do yourself some justice and attempt to use technologies and software not controlled by a centralized authority, but at very least, anything that promotes free speech, general freedom, and actual diversity.
@Swordsmyth put forth a good article a while back listing alternatives. Always have a back-up plan, and always look for and support alternatives.

Amazon is deplatforming them starting tomorrow night.

"Make your own" is a joke in the the current state of the world and we will never get to where it could be viable unless we forget about it for now.

Glenn Greenwald:

Do you know how many of the people arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion were active users of Parler?

Zero.

The planning was largely done on Facebook. This is all a bull$#@! pretext for silencing competitors on ideological grounds: just the start.

Revolutions are a violation of Corporate Policies.

So, um... USA, Inc.?

Sadly, people now think it is a choice between Facebook or Freedom and they are $#@!ing picking Facebook. I wish we could let them experience TRUE Tyranny for like 10 years and be able to roll back the clock just so they could wake the $#@! up and say holy $#@! I had no idea how bad it really was, then pick Freedom instead. But there will be no rolling back the clock, or letting them learn from their mistakes. Its not just THEIR Freedom they are throwing the $#@! away, its YOURS AND MINE.
