But in Jack Dorsey’s mind, Donald Trump saying he wouldn’t attend the inauguration (which Joe Biden said is a “good thing” today) is somehow inciting people to violence.

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

Twitter hashtags with the word “hang” are allowed to trend. When will Apple remove Twitter? I am finally against Apple having sole control of apps. Supporting the EU in getting it opened.
She drummed up donations to get violent protestors out on bail.
We’re talking about violent protestors, attacking innocent people on the street, not people staying inside velvet ropes and taking pictures of the statues as the police literally stepped aside from them.
Kamala Harris is the terrorist supporter. And, despite essentially no Democrats supporting her in the primary (because she is frightening and repellant), you now can’t wait to be ruled by her and her totalitarian hive. Not being allowed to leave your house, run your business, see your family, see anyone’s smiles has just not been enough. Your birthright was liberty, and you hate it. Madness.
No matter how strongly you believe that this will only get those awful people who don’t support totalitarianism, the totalitarians will come for you next. History guarantees it. It will be small comfort to know that the same people cheering this frightening censorship today will look back on this day with tearful regret... but hey, it’ll be something. 🤷♂️
“But free speech!”
Nothing stopping Trump from standing on a street corner spouting crazy with a bullhorn - unless he’s inciting violence or engaging in hate speech.
Apple and Twitter can do whatever they want when banning people. You ever walked into a restaurant and seen this sign?
“No shoes, no shirt, no service.”

I don't know, and when I say this, I'm not a fan of Trump (or Biden for that matter). When the vast majority of media is extremely liberally biased its a tough call to ban an app like this. The only reason Twitter banned Trump is because the media bows to the Obama's every whim, and Michelle decreed that they ban him. If the Democratic party had not asked the Obamas to do so you can bet that this discussion wouldn't even be happening.
People forget that there were an insane number of violent protests when Trump took office. Some were peaceful, but others definitely were not. I don't recall the media stepping in and doing anything like this except supporting all of that protesting, even when violent. The Capitol Building breech was awful and no one should condone it. But the media/corporations in my opinion have far to much of a reach on what people say and think these days and for the most part is absolutely awful in their attempts to appear woke.
Let's be honest here. Facebook is one of the absolute worst companies in the world. They take and abuse people's personal privacy and sell your information like you are a piece of meat. But, all good, leave them alone.

Maybe they got sick of him when he, his son, and his farty lawyer literally incited the crowd to violence and a failed Duck Dynasty coup attempt this past Wednesday, which all of us with eyes and brains around the world saw live on television. Did you... miss it?
And yet I wonder if you were preaching your words of wisdom to the organizations like BLM and Antifa when they were clearly expressing their intentions on Twitter right? I'll be standing by with your response..........

Twitter has specific exemptions for world leaders. Same reason Trump wasn't banned when he told Assad he was firing missiles at Syria, but a random guy could get banned for making death threats. Not saying it's right, it's just the reason they gave.
I, for one, have never had a problem with the notch.
Ugh. Wrong thread. My bad.

Good thing Apple wasn’t an Egyptian company, I guess, as Facebook and Twitter were used as tools in the Egyptian revolution to commit sedition and insurrection. I guess it’s up to 5 tech companies to work out the goodies and the baddies and not law enforcement, due process and the courts

Egypt five years on: was it ever a 'social media revolution'?
Tahrir Square’s spirit of change was infectious, but activists looking back say Facebook and Twitter were just tools, never the driving force
Well trump is still the leader of the free world
Last I checked, like it or not, Trump is still a world leader for a couple more weeks.
How does seeking an audit hinder someone’s right to vote?
since the web version still works it’s not a big deal either way. Just a marketing decision since obviously Apple has no legal liability for what happens on the app.
Big in the intelligence community are you? So many people behind a keyboard talking big while waiting on that government check.
While perhaps a good idea in theory, the EU being able to do anything effectively seems to be kind of a joke at this point. I mean geez, they couldn't even hold on to Britain (England -- seems other Brits want to stay in the EU).
This is one area where American values of "private property" really do differ from European sensitivities. Allowing one government to decide what speech is allowed on private platforms and what is not strikes me as much more dangerous a slippery slope, than leaving it up to a plurality of private organizations to make their own decisions about what speech is allowed on the platforms they own.
But big up on all the environmental stuff EU, we could definitely learn a thing or two in that regard here in the States, this is for sure. (I mean this, not intended to be sarcastic.)
Due process? Hyperbolic much?Good thing Apple wasn’t an Egyptian company, I guess, as Facebook and Twitter were used as tools in the Egyptian revolution to commit sedition and insurrection.

I didn’t realize Apple was imprisoning Matze, Bongino, and Nunes.
It's a trivial matter to drop Parler onto your IOS screen as a web shortcut.
Just want to say the way you patronized that poster didn't contribute anything to the discussion and makes it seem like you have no argument against them.
I'm glad the people who vandalized the Capitol Building are getting arrested, but I am also extremely disappointed in how many Americans have been brainwashed by partisan politics into happily giving away their rights.
******** <--- see censored by MacRumors ... oh nos.
You do know that all sites censor what we say online. This is nothing new.
At the end of the day they are acting like this all over a few fools that walking in and walked out of the capital, why wasn’t all this talk around when the blm
Rioters spent all summer burning cities down and Kamala and joe helped get criminals out of jail, it’s very one sided I think the threat is from the leftie democrats not the right
