kids on Tik Tok made fun of the president, so Trump and conservatives wanted to ban it. But when conservatives using an app to plot deadly attacks on American soil, they think it’s unfair to ask to moderate said criminal activites.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Removes Parler From App Store Due to 'Inadequate' Measures to Address Dangerous Content

You literally don't know what you're talking about.
You seem to be in support of communism, where the government can tell private companies and individuals what to do with their property.
No, that is not our world, that is not what "free speech" even involves (try reading the 1st Amendment sometime). Apple is absolutely free to control their personal property how they want -- this is the American Way.
The left can tweet things like I hope trump dies and gets away with it but when the right tweet anything they get banned it’s not equal rights; apple has become woke like the rest of the company’s, they can’t silence the president of America it’s wrong
America under Joe Biden. So much for uniting both sides.
'Hang Mike Pence' trends on Twitter after platform suspends Trump for risk of 'incitement of violence'
Twitter has removed content from "trending" in the past when it violates its rules.
So much for Apple's freedom of speech principles, only when it fits their agenda.
It was trending because of the disgusting videos of rioting Trumpers demanding Pence be hanged. Accounts weren't advocating it, they were calling it out.
Well said! They are whiny, snowflake hypocrites through and through. Sometimes they get whipped up into a frenzy and try to stage a coup. Thankfully, they were too stupid and unplanned to pull it off. But we got lucky, this time. The next few weeks, and I'm afraid, years, will have to involve mopping up this garbage, and throwing it into a very deep pit, forever.
F’ you apple.
You are no better than those d:ckheads at Twitter and Facebook......

4 years of trump and zero riots and when trump lost there was peace no trump supporters done anything they didn’t riot or loot, but a few hours of madness and that’s it every trump supporter is the devil and should be banned, the left are hypocrites they same all this but they stayed quiet during the summer when the blm lot burnt cities to the group, I so done with this chat, go enjoy this because it’s gonna get worse
There are so many Republican, Libertarian, and otherwise right-wing people on Twitter, myself included. It's not "hearing only one side."
Also, if Parler is an anything-goes platform, that conflicts with the App Store rules, and that's always been the case. I've had to abide by them when submitting my own apps.
What u on about everything I’ve said is the trump you couldn’t debate me with facts
What a pithy quote that means absolutely nothing.
If you invite someone over to your house and they start getting mouthy and you kick their butt to the curb, you are taking advantage of our American values that preserve private property. You are not blocking freedom of speech. The idiot you kicked out can still rant -- somewhere else, but not on your property.
That's not proof of calls of violence. If you had actually looked at the tweets on Twitter, you'd know it was trending because people were calling out the videos of Trumpers screaming it on Wednesday.'Hang Mike Pence' trends on Twitter after platform suspends Trump for risk of 'incitement of violence'

Well, for starters, this guy still has a Twitter account.
While we're on the topic, can you provide proof of calls for violence on Parler? Or did you just come here to celebrate the suppression of ideas that run counter to your ideology?
Yeah the leader of Iran calls for israel
To be wiped of the map and he is still allowed on Twitter, while trump is banned for telling people to go how and respect law and order
The ACLU, no fan of Trump, disagrees.
I, for one, do not want Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, and Sundar Pichai to be the arbiters of what speech we are “allowed” to see.
Brandenburg vs. Ohio establishes a very high threshold for governmental banning of speech. As private companies, Apple, Twitter, etc. have more flexibility but they should exercise good judgment.
Twitter continuing to allow Ayatollah Khamenei to advocate the “extermination” of Israel, and the Chinese Foreign Minister to falsely claim Muslim Uighurs are better off in concentration camps is not a sign of good judgment. Apple giving Parler 1 day to implement unrealistic changes is not good judgment.
I dont live in the US so not associated with either side..But Twitter is used around the world to incite violence against governments, causing some of the most deadly conflicts we have seen.. How is this different?? To the rest of the world it just seems that Twitter management are just running an agenda.. They are literally attempting to control information. I guess thats why I have never really used Twitter.. Its just to much of a sewer..
Nothing wrong with censoring speech! In doing so, you teach people what is right and what is not! It also call political correct culture too. This is just the next level of applying this concept. I know it not applied equally but that is the way it goes. This country more then ever is now control by the liberal left progressive Socialist side of politics. Got to go with the flow and conform. I lived in third world countries before and that how you need to behave to survive.

It’s their platform. They can silence whoever they want, just like this site, my site or your site can. The president literally has a room in his house where the press will show up and cover anything he wants to say. Maybe he should use it for once.
Well said.
Sadly, it speaks to the state of "conservatism" in the USA today, when for the vast vast majority of people who claim to embrace it, it really just means white power fascism.
Thank you for standing up and reminding us that none of this garbage actually has anything to do with traditional, conservative values. It's a shame the party that used to be able to articulate them gave up on policies, literally got rid of their party platform, and replaced it with "Trump is our leader." This actually happened at the 2020 RNC. smh
They never had any free speech principles and never claimed to. These are their rules on content, which have been basically the same since the App Store was created.

I don't think he's a radical leftist.
