Apple and Amazon dump Parler

The Telegraph  

Apple and Amazon are removing Parler from their services as part of a growing backlash after the social media network was among those used to organise Wednesday’s riots at the US Capitol. Apple dropped Parler from its App Store, while Amazon’s cloud unit decided to stop hosting the social media platform from Sunday night. Apple’s removal also means Parler will stay off the App Store on the iPhone, iPad and other devices until it is able to show its “ability to effectively moderate and filter the dangerous and harmful content on your service,” Apple added. ‘Coordinated Attack’ On its App Store page, Parler described itself as a “non-biased, free speech social media focused on protecting user’s rights.” The service has gained popularity with extremists as Facebook and Twitter crack down on users who promote violence. Parler also ranked 18th among free apps on Apple’s App Store over the last 90 days, according to Apptopia data.
