Sponsor Message The company said its app review team had found a "significant number" of Parler posts that violated Apple policies governing offensive or discriminatory user-generated content, including those that "encouraged violence, denigrated various ethnic groups, races and religions, glorified Nazism, and called for violence." "As a result of those conversations, Parler has proposed updates to its app and the app's content moderation practices, and the App Review Team has informed Parler as of April 14, 2021 that its proposed updated app will be approved for reinstatement to the App Store," he wrote. Parler said in a statement that plans to relaunch on the app store the week of April 26, after what it described as several months of dialogue with Apple and "new information that Parler provided to the public and Congress to demonstrate that the Company has always prohibited incitement and Parler had been unfairly scapegoated for the events of January 6th."
